Collocations in the Croatian Web Dictionary - Mrežnik

“…Croatian is still one of a few national languages that does not have a freely available online corpus-based dictionary compiled according to the rules of contemporary e-lexicography or systematic research on e-lexicography; this was the reason for starting the Croatian Web Dictionary -Mrežnik project (cf. Hudeček and Mihaljević, 2017a;Hudeček and Mihaljević, 2017b;Hudeček, 2018). Mrežnik is a four-year project (1 st March 2017 -28 th February 2021) financed by the Croatian Science Foundation.…”
