In the CoCoCo project we develop methods to extract multi-word expressions of various kinds—idioms, multi-word lexemes, collocations, and colligations—and to evaluate their linguistic stability in a common, uniform fashion. In this paper we introduce a Web interface, which provides the user with access to these measures, to query Russian-language corpora. Potential users of these tools include ...

In this work, we address the deciphering of semantic relations between terms in order to build structured terminologies. We study particularly the contribution of morphological clues. Among linguistic operations proposed by the morphology, we analyze affixation and suppletion. We show interpretative schemata emerging from morphologically formed lexemes and corresponding terminological relations...

We develop a data set of Malay lexemes labelled with count classifiers, that are attested in raw or lemmatised corpora. A maximum entropy classifier based on simple, languageinspecific features generated from context tokens achieves about 50% F-score, or about 65% precision when a suite of binary classifiers is built to aid multi-class prediction of headword nouns. Surprisingly, numeric feature...
