  abstract  = {In this paper we show that if we want to obtain human evidence about
	conventionalization of some phrases, we should ask native speakers about
	associations they have to a given phrase and its component words. We have shown
	that if component words of a phrase have each other as frequent associations,
	then this phrase can be considered as conventionalized. Another type of
	conventionalized phrases can be revealed using two factors: low entropy of
	phrase associations and low intersection of component word and phrase
	associations. The association experiments were performed for the Russian
	language.},
