Polish Automatic Collocations Dictionary
===========================================

Lexical Computing Limited, October 2012

This is an Automatic Collocations Dictionary produced by Lexical Computing Limited, for delivery to the EU CESAR project.
The method is
  • Take a corpus of the language in question
  • Lemmatise and part-of-speech-tag it
  • Load it into the Sketch Engine     
    (http://www.sketchengine.co.uk)
  • Apply a ‘sketch grammar’ (of regular expressions over part-of-speech tags).  A sketch grammar, when applied to a corpus, identifies a set of collocations, eg <headword, grammatical relation, collocate> triples.
  • For all lexical words of sufficient frequency, list all collocations they participate in

In this case,
• The corpus was created by downloading Polish texts from the web in 2012
• The tagging was done using Wrocław CRF Tagger 
• The dictionary has entries for 31,014 headwords, with an average of 5.26 collocations per headword.
• The entry for each collocation includes pointers to its corpus examples on the Sketch Engine website.
