[Corpora-List] looking for a corpus of nominal compounds

[Oliver Mason]

Sorry, I have no answer, but I'd like to make a point about terminology: what you are looking for is a LIST of compounds, not a CORPUS.  The list could be extracted from a corpus, but is in itself not one.

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
