Using an automatic method to suggest constructions has advantages not only for efficiency but also methodologically: it forces the analyst to look more objec-tively at the constructions actually occurring in corpora, as opposed to focusing on “interesting” constructions only. As a heuristic for identifying potential con-structions, the method has proved successful, yielding about 200 (out of 1,200) highly relevant construction candidates.}, journal = {Constructions and Frames}, author = {Forsberg, Markus and Johansson, Richard and Bäckström, Linnéa and Borin, Lars and Lyngfelt, Benjamin and Olofsson, Joel and Prentice, Julia}, year = {2014}, volume = {6}, number = {1, 2014}, pages = {114--135}, }
