Abstract This paper describes an experiment that attempts to compare a range of existing collocation extraction techniques as well as the implementation of a new technique based on tests for lexical substitutability. After a description of the experiment details, the techniques are discussed with particular emphasis on any adaptations that are required in order to evaluate it in the way propose...

A challenging task in Chinese collocation extraction is to improve both the precision and recall rate. Most lexical statistical methods including Xtract face the problem of unable to extract collocations with lower frequencies than a given threshold. This paper presents a method where HowNet is used to find synonyms using a similarity function. Based on such synonym information, we have success...

Collocations play a significant role in second language acquisition. In order to be able to offer efficient support to learners, an NLP-based CALL environment for learning collocations should be based on a representative collocation error annotated learner corpus. However, so far, no theoretically-motivated collocation error tag set is available. Existing learner corpora tag collocation errors ...

We present the main findings and preliminary results of an ongoing project aimed at developing a system for collocation extraction based on contextual morpho-syntactic properties. We explored two hybrid extraction methods: the first method applies languageindepedent statistical techniques followed by a linguistic filtering, while the second approach, available only for German, is based on a set...

Texts in natural languages consist of words that are syntactically linked and semantically combinable—like political party, pay attention, or brick wall. Such semantically plausible combinations of two content words, which we hereafter refer to as collocations, are important knowledge in many areas of computational linguistics. We consider a lexical resource that provides such knowledge—a collo...

The present study examines English patent documents extracted from LexisNexis. We compiled a reference corpus of independent claim texts and lay the focus specifically on their collocation features. The findings suggest the functional development of independent claim involves verb-noun collocation and semantic prosody. Verb-noun collocations happen to function as semantic trigger affected by se...

The current study compares lexical association measures for automatic extraction of Estonian particle verbs from the text corpus. The central focus lies on the impact of the corpus size on the performance of the compared symmetrical association measures. Additionally a piece of empirical evidence of the advantage of asymmetric association measure ΔP for the task of collocation extra...

<p><strong>Abstract</strong><strong>: </strong>The purpose of this study was to determine (1) the form significant lexical collocation in student's English writing discussion text, (2) process creates cohesion and (3) cultural reflection displayed by structure textual text. This applies a mixture descriptive quantitative qualitative methods describing research find...

The purpose of this article is to identify grammatical and lexical forms cohesion in the discourse april 2022 issue kompas.com site's online news. This uses a descriptive qualitative method with text analysis type research. Data collection techniques are carried out by recording words, phrases, clauses sentences that have forms. Based on data obtained form cohesion, namely efficiency, substitut...

Introduction Importance of collocation in efficient language learning is well recognized in the domain of second language education. In recent years investigations in brain science shows that retrieving from mental lexicon words acquired in conventional text-based learning is significantly slower on the scene of actual setting than those obtained in situationbased learning[1]. This paper adopts...
