Abstract

This paper presents a method of semi-automatic creation of a dictionary of nominal compounds. For each English expression, several possible Polish translations are generated and the number of occurrences on the Internet is checked for each of them separately. The most frequent form is supposed to be the right one, which is proved by analysis of ca. 500 phrases.
