ABSTRACT:
A sentence is accessed and at least one query is generated based on the sentence. At least one query can be compared to text within a collection of documents, for example using a web search engine. Collocation errors in the sentence can be detected and/or corrected based on the comparison of the at least one query and the text within the collection of documents.
