Automatic Syntactic Analysis for Detection of Word Combinations

The paper presents a method for automatic detection of “non-trivial” word combinations in the text. It is based on automatic syntactic analysis. The method shows better precision and recall than the baseline method (bigrams). It was tested on a text in Spanish. The method can be used for enrichment of very large dictionaries of word combinations.
