Hi Denis,
I'm not an expert in this. But just come up in my mind a simple and quick
method to obtain a crude list of the nominal compounds. Not sure how helpful
it will be to you. You may access Mark Davis website
<BLOCKED::BLOCKED::http://view.byu.edu/> http://view.byu.edu/ and perform a
search for 'plural noun + singular noun' using the tag options provided. You
may set the no. of hits as many as you like. The downside is that you have
to do some manual screening work afterwards in order to obtain what you
want.

Subject: [Corpora-List] looking for a corpus of nominal compounds
Dear linguists,
I am currently looking for a corpus of nominal compounds (N-N) in which the
first noun (the internal noun) is pluralized, such as jobs growth, visual
effects supervisor, the new government's nationalities policy, etc.
Any reference will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Best regards,
Denis Jamet
