• Resumen

  • This paper describes the Dictionary of Italian Collocations (Dici), a tool based on natural language processing technologies that aims to support foreign language learning activities. More specifically, the Dici is designed to be integrated with an online learning environment: in a specific area of an online platform, devoted to the study of vocabulary, students of Italian as a second language can perform receptive and productive learning activities concerning the recognition and the active use of collocations, with the support of all the information stored in the Dici. The paper describes the process of extraction of collocations from a reference Italian corpus, the creation of the dictionary, its structure and its integration with the online learning environment.
