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 (NGO, RC, NGO_Fed, Net and IGO 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.

Collocational data for Sustainability was found to be scarce. Across all 5 organisation types analysed, only 5 top collocates were obtained:
ecological;
environmental;
ICLEI; (International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives)
jeopardize; and
resilience
NGO documents generated self-reliance as top collocate in 2008.
RC documents generated self-reliance as top collocate in 2014 with the highest overall score. Other top RC collocates include continituity, ensure and ownership.
NGO_Fed documents generated viability as top collocate for 2012 with the highest overall score. Other top NGO_Fed collocates include ecological and environmental.
Net documents generated efficiency as top collocate for 2015. Other top collocates are debt and environmental.
IGO documents generated jeopardize as top collocate in 2014 with the highest overall score. Other IGO top collocates are ICLEI, ecological and environmental.
Unique Collocates by Organisation Type
Unique Collocates by Organisation Type

NGO documents feature the following unique collocates: legitimacy, precondition, conduce, ascertain, economical, likelihood, floriculture, triangle, CSR (Corporate Social Responsibility) and reproducibility.
All RC unique collocates are SEB ( SEB is a leading Nordic financial services group ), signature, RRCS( Rwanda Red Cross Society ), CBHFA (Community-Based Health and First Aid Project ), positioning, binding, generic, bolster, physical and mobilization.

HE Corpus
The chart below represents the distribution of Sustainability 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 Sustainability were highest in 2019. The highest relative frequency recorded was obtained in 2011 (109%).
Europe generated the greatest number of occurrences and Africa generated the highest relative frequency with 127%.
The top 5 organisation types with the highest relative frequency of Sustainability are State, Found, IGO, RE and NGO.
Activity reports provided the greatest number of occurrences and strategy documents generated the highest relative frequency with 180%.

This shows the evolution of Sustainability 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.
Sustainability remains at the same level from 1950 until it vastly starts to increase up until 2019, when it reaches its peak.
