Abstract
Restricted collocability has received some attention, but not as a formalized method. We suggest that it should be used as a metrics for collocations, as well as for other types of usage, both in linguistics and even outside it, as it has great potentials for a plethora of applications.
On the examples from a diachronic corpus of Arabic, we show the possibilities of its employment in studying prepositional valency and lexical profiling.
