Summary/Abstract: his paper proposes an approach to identifying subtree fragments (StFs) in corpora. StFs share similarities with both collocational frameworks (Renouf and Sinclair 1991) and grammar patterns (Hunston and Francis 2000). StFs differ from these two notions in specific ways. I will then demonstrate how StFs can be identified semi-automatically in corpora, how their distribution can be explored, and how they can be classified using word embeddings and the information about thematic structures.
