Abstract
As a linguistic phenomenon, collocations have been the subject of numerous re- searches both in the fields of theoreti- cal and descriptive linguistics, and, more recently, in automatic Natural Language Processing. In the area of Machine there is still improvements to be done, as ma- jor translation engines do not handle col- locations in the appropriate way and end up producing literal unsatisfactory transla- tions. Having as a starting point our pre- vious work on machine translation error analysis (Costa et al., 2015), in this ar- ticle we present a corpus annotated with collocation errors and their classification. To our believe, to have a clear understand- ing of the difficulties that the collocations represent to the Machine Translations en- gines, it is necessary a detailed linguistic analysis of their errors.
