Abstract

This article deals with noun+verb combinations in bilingual Basque-Spanish and Spanish-Basque dictionaries. We take a look at morphosyntactic and semantic features of word combinations in both language directions, and compare them to identify differences and similarities. Our work reveals the high complexity of those constructions and, hence, the need to address them specifically in Natural Language Processing tools, for example in Machine Translation. All of our results are publicly available online, where users can query the combinations we have analysed.
