What corpus query, or queries, would you run through Sketch Engine to ascertain how to

express the concept of:


1. sollecitato dallo stimolo economico in English

a. Then, I would run the corpus query with the Word Sketch function of Sketch
Engine, in order to
explore the contextual behavior of the nodeword and determine its more
frequent and common collocates (or words that frequently and commonly
appear with another word), which are regrouped in different tables according
to their grammatical relations.

nodeword and see whether economic is there.
Once that Im quite certain that economic stimulus is a correct translation of
stimolo economico
I may finally focus on the table of verbs collocating with the nodeword and
find the best translation of sollecitato

collocation economic stimulus has really a high number of occurrences

left collocates, respectively, because of the possibility for adjectives or
adverbs to appear between the verb and the nodeword
b. as a subject of a passive verb. In this case, I may choose 2-3 and 0for the
right and the left collocates, respectively, because of the possibility for
auxiliary verbs or adverbs to appear between the nodeword and the verb

the room provided close to the collocates function
