You can do that using any POS tagged corpus. If you try Mark Davies' BNC-based VIEW at http://view.byu.edu/ <http://view.byu.edu/>  <http://view.byu.edu/ and>  and search for [nn2]  [n*], you will find many of such examples, e.g. "shares index", "services department".

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
