Abstract. The use of lexicons and corpora advances both linguistic re-search and performance of current natural language processing (NLP) systems. We present a tool that exploits such resources, specifically En-glish and German lexical databases and the World Wide Web to recognise English inclusions in German newspaper articles. The output of the tool can assist lexical resource developers in monitoring changing patterns of English inclusion usage. The corpus used for the classification covers three different domains. We report the classification results and illustrate their value to linguistic and NLP research. 1
