Frequent Collocations
Frequent Collocations
Frequent words that accompany a term are known as collocates. A given term and its collocates form collocations. These can be extracted automatically based on statistics and curated manually to explore interactions with concepts.
Comparisons over time between organisation types with the greatest number of hits (IGO, NGO, State, NGO_Fed and Net organisations) may prove to be meaningful. Below is an histogram for the top yearly collocation for each of the five organisations with the greatest contribution as well as across all organisation types.
Collocates Over Time
Collocates Over Time
Collocational data for Effectiveness was found to be scarce. Across all 5 organisation types analysed, only 2 top collocates were obtained:
efficiency; and
TC (Technical cooperation; from effectiveness of TC)
IGO documents generated OED ( From OED's (Operations Evaluation Department) independence and effectiveness ) as top collocate in 2008.
NGO documents generated school-based as top collocate in 2015 with the highest overall score. Other top NGO collocates include efficiency and evaluate.
State documents generated ODE as top collocate for 2017.
NGO_Fed documents generated organisational as top collocate for 2013 and 2015. Other top NGO_Fed top collocates are efficiency and CSO (Civil Society Organisation).
Net documents generated organisational as top collocate for 2013. 0ther top Net collocates are relevance and CSO.

HE Corpus
HE Corpus
The chart below represents the distribution of Effectiveness between 2005 and 2019 in terms of the number of occurrences and relative frequency of occurrences. It also allows you to view the distribution across Regions, Organisations and Document types.
What's the relative frequency of a concept?
What's the relative frequency of a concept?
The relative frequency of a concept compares its occurrences in a specific subcorpora (i.e. Year, Region, Organisation Type, Document Type) to its total number of occurrences in the entire HE corpus. This indicates how typical a word is to a specific subcorpus and allows to draw tentative comparisons between subcorpora, e.g. Europe vs Asia or NGO vs IGO. You can read these relative frequencies as follows:
Relative frequency is expressed as a percentage, above or below the total number of occurrences, which are set at 100%. This measure is obtained by dividing the number of occurrences by the relative size of a particular subcorpus.
Under 100%: a word is less frequent in a subcorpus than in the entire corpus. This is means that the word is not typical or specific to a given subcorpus.
100%: a word is as frequent in a subcorpus as it is in the entire corpus.
Over 100%: a word is more frequent in a subcorpus than in the entire corpus. This means that the word in question is typical or specific to a given subcorpus.
As an author, you may be interested in exploring why a concept appears more or less frequently in a given subcorpus. This may be related to the concept's nature, the way humanitarians in a given year, region, organisation type or document type use the concept, or the specific documents in the corpus and subcorpora itself. To manually explore the original corpus data, you can consult each Contexts section where available or the search the corpus itself if needs be.
Occurrences of Effectiveness were highest in 2015. Effectiveness obtained the highest relative frequency recorded in 2010 (105%).
Europe generated the greatest number of occurrences and Oceania generated the highest relative frequency with 133%.
The top 5 organisation types with the highest relative frequency of Effectiveness are WHS, State, Net, C/B, IGO and NGO_Fed.
Activity reports provided the greatest number of occurrences and Strategy provided the highest relative frequency with 224%.

This shows the evolution of Effectiveness and in the vast Google Books corpus, which gives you a general idea of the trajectory of the term in English books between 1950 and 2019. Values are expressed as a percentage of the total corpus instead of occurrences.
Please note that this is not a domain-specific corpus. However, it provides a general overview of and its evolution across domains.
Effectiveness increases until it reaches its peak in 1978. It then slightly declines until 2019.
