Identification of the usage of collocations in business texts

Abstract

This paper considers an algorithm for revealing the multiword combinations and derivative prepositions that are characteristic of Russian business and official speech. The construction of such an algorithm can be considered as a necessary stage of studying business and official speech. The described mechanism can be useful in compiling textbooks, training, and controlling services for both foreigners and native speakers of the Russian language. A word list in the form of an Excel file is created based on the core of collocations that have been already included in existing tutorials. The orders of public authorities published in the public domain on the Internet are used as texts over which the search is made.
