Europarl Nominal Compound Database

The Europarl Nominal Compound Database (ENCD) was automatically extracted from Europarl v7 of OPUS (Tiedemann, 2012 [2]).

This database contains English nominal compounds and their equivalents in up to nine languages:

• Danish
• Dutch
• English (pivot)
• French
• German
• Greek
• Italian
• Portuguese
• Romanian
• Spanish
• Swedish

We provide several versions of the database (ranging from optimal recall (CCR0) to optimal precision (CCR4)).

Keywords: noun compound, compound noun, multilingual, cross-lingual, multi-word expression, database, list, resource, dataset
