  abstract  = {We present a linguistic analysis of a set of English and Spanish verb+noun
	combinations (VNCs), and a method to use this information to improve VNC
	identification. Firstly, a sample of frequent VNCs are analysed in-depth and
	tagged along lexico-semantic and morphosyntactic dimensions, obtaining
	satisfactory inter-annotator agreement scores. Then, a VNC identification
	experiment is undertaken, where the analysed linguistic data is combined with
	chunking information and syntactic dependencies. A comparison between the
	results of the experiment and the results obtained by a basic detection method
	shows that VNC identification can be greatly improved by using linguistic
	information, as a large number of additional occurrences are detected with high
	precision.},
