Collocation chains: how to deal with then?
Margarita Alonso Ramos, Leo Wanner · 2007
Collocation are pairs of collocations in which one element participates in both collocations. Such chains have hardly been considered so far in MTT or in other theoretical frameworks. However, some of them raise interesting questions with respect to their representation in the dictionary and treatment in NLP - e.g., in automatic text generation. In this paper, we give an overview of the different types of collocation chains and provide a preliminary suggestion for their treatment. For illustration, we use examples from Spanish.
