  abstract = "We develop statistical measures for assessing the acceptability of a
              frequent class of multiword expressions.  We also use the measures to
              estimate the degree of productivity of the expressions over
              semantically related nouns.  We show that a linguistically-inspired
              measure outperforms a standard measure of collocation in its match
              with human judgments.  The measure uses simple extraction techniques
              over non-marked-up web data.",
