For consistency with the experiments of <cite>Reddy et al. (2011)</cite> , the corpus used in this experiment is the same fullyannotated version of the web-derived ukWaC corpus (Ferraresi et al., 2008) . This corpus has been tokenised, POS-tagged and lemmatised with TreeTagger (Schmid, 1994) and dependency-parsed with the Malt Parser (Nivre, 2004) . In order to create a corpus which contains compound nouns, we further preprocessed the corpus by identifying occurrences of the 90 target compound nouns and recombining them into a single lexical item.
