The object of this article is to describe the extraction of data from a corpus of academic texts in Spanish and the use of those data for developing a lexical tool oriented to the production of academic texts. The corpus provides the lexical combinations that will be included in the afore-mentioned tool, namely collocations, idioms and formulas. They have been retrieved from the corpus controlling for their keyness (i.e., their specificity with regard to academic texts) and their even distribution across the corpus. For the extraction of collocations containing academic vocabulary other methods have been used, taking advantage of the morphological and syntactic information with which the corpus has been enriched. In the case of collocations and other multiword units, several association measures are being tested in order to restrict the list of candidates the lexicographers will have to deal with manually.
