[Corpora-List] MWE extraction from a desired text

[Martin Reynaert]

Dear Fatemeh,

Seems to me the Unix/Linux text utility 'grep' might do wonders for you. 
The -f parameter would allow you to give it your offline ready list of 
MWEs. Getting back only the sentences that match would require that your 
corpus has undergone sentence splitting first. This is quite often 
performed by tools called 'tokenizers'.

With some searching on the web you will dig up a Windows version of 
'grep' and other indispensable text utility tools ('tr', 'sed', etc.) .

Welcome,
