   abstract = {Shell nouns, such as <I>fact</I> and <I>problem</I>,
                  occur frequently in all kinds of texts. These nouns
                  themselves are unspecific, and can only be
                  interpreted together with the shell content. We
                  propose a general approach to automatically identify
                  shell content of shell nouns. Our approach exploits
                  lexico-syntactic knowledge derived from the
                  linguistics literature. We evaluate the approach on
                  a variety of shell nouns with a variety of syntactic
                  expectations, achieving accuracies in the range of
                  62\% (baseline: 33\%) to 83\% (baseline: 74\%) on
                  crowd-annotated data.}
