This paper is the result of an empirical research on the association between the word ‘access’ with ‘internet’ in two corpora of written text: formal and informal. As an association measure we made use of Multual Information Score (I = Log2 O/E).). As a result, we verified a highlight when ‘access’ is displayed with ‘internet’(5,13 e 31,19, respectively). This fact has guided us to an association of 4,8 (formal) and 7,2 (informal)
