    Dear Denis,

     

    You could use Mark Davies' very useful VIEW interface of the BNC to get that
    kind of examples (http://view.byu.edu/) and search for "plural noun followed
    by singular noun" by typing in "[nn2] [nn1]". This query retrieves a list
    of examples including "companies act", "services council", "rights issue"...
    You can then click on each result to get a BNC concordance of the respective
    item.

     

    Have a good weekend!

    Best wishes... Ute

    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
