- ABSTRACT: This paper describes the use of WordNet in a new technique for collocation extraction. The approach is based on restrictions on the possible substitutions for synonyms within candidate phrases. Following a general discussion of collocations and their applications, current extraction methods are briefly described. This is followed by a detailed description of the new approach and results and evaluation of experiments that utilise WordNet as a source of synonymic information.
- QUOTE: As an example of a collocation, Lin (1998) explains that even though baggage and luggage are synonyms, only baggage can be modified by emotional, historical or psychological.
This lack of valid substitution for a synonym is a characteristic of collocations in general (Manning and Schutze, 1999).
