Identifying Morphosyntactic Preferences in Collocations
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we describe research that aims to make evidence on the morphosyntactic preferences of collocations available to lexicographers. Our methods for the extraction of appropriate frequency data and its statistical analysis are applied to the number and case preferences of German adjective+noun combinations in a small case study.

Extraction tools for collocations and their morphosyntactic specificities
Abstract We describe tools for the extraction of collocations not only in the form of word combinations, but also of data about the morphosyntactic properties of collocation candidates. Such data are needed for a detailed lexical description of collocations, and to support both their recognition in text and the generation of collocationally acceptable text. We describe the tool architecture, re...
متن کاملTools for Collocation Extraction: Preferences for Active vs. Passive
We present and partially evaluate procedures for the extraction of noun+verb collocation candidates from German text corpora, along with their morphosyntactic preferences, especially for the active vs. passive voice. We start from tokenized, tagged, lemmatized and chunked text, and we use extraction patterns formulated in the CQP corpus query language. We discuss the results of a precision eval...
متن کاملA Corpus-based Analysis of Collocational Errors in the Iranian EFL Learners' Oral Production
Collocations are one of the areas generally considered problematic for EFL learners. Iranian learners of English like other EFL learners face various problems in producing oral collocations. An analysis of learners' spoken interlanguage both indicates the scope of the problem and the necessity to spend more time and energy by learners on mastering collocations. The present study specifically f...
متن کاملOn Collocations and Their Interaction with Parsing and Translation
We address the problem of automatically processing collocations—a subclass of multi-word expressions characterized by a high degree of morphosyntactic flexibility—in the context of two major applications, namely, syntactic parsing and machine translation. We show that parsing and collocation identification are processes that are interrelated and that benefit from each other, inasmuch as syntact...
متن کاملIdentification of Noun-Noun (N-N) Collocations as Multi-Word Expressions in Bengali Corpus
Noun-Noun compounds, as a subset of Compound Nouns as well as Nominal Compounds play an important role in NLP applications like Machine Translation, Information Retrieval because of the token frequency, type frequency and their occurrence in the world’s languages. Recognition of MWEs requires deep or shallow syntactic preprocessing tools and large corpora. The problem is quite difficult in Beng...
