User:DCDuring/Collocation of in

Collocations
See Appendix:Collocations of in. It contains hundreds of collocations taken from COCA of "in" with following nouns:
 * 1) in + noun singular
 * 2) in + noun plural
 * 3) in + a + noun singular
 * 4) in + the + noun singular
 * 5) in + the + noun plural
 * The work on this appendix has just begun.
 * The plan includes:
 * Basic formatting:
 * headers
 * lower case
 * wikilinking
 * Addition of other collocations that are in wiktionary but not in the lists.
 * Excluding apparent cases of attributive use of noun.
 * Checking the nouns to make sure that we have the appropriate senses thereof.
 * Classifying the nouns along multiple dimensions relevant to "in".
 * Comparing presentations of "in" in dictionaries and other linguistic resources.
 * Matching senses of "in" against classes of nouns.
 * Making a reasonable set of not-too-much-overlapping definitions of in.
 * Proposing elimination of any non-idiomatic prepositional phrases that have no other merit.
 * Adding entries for any missing idioms involving the collocations.

IOW, this is a way of making many types of improvements in wiktionary entries based on the use of the vast collocation databases available. Apart from the formatting I do not know how this could be automated, but would welcome any suggestions in that regard or in any other regard including the wisdom of the undertaking.
