We present an experiment designed for extracting construction candidates for a Swedish constructicon from text corpora. We have explored the use of hybrid n-grams with the practical goal to discover previously undescribed partially schematic constructions. The experiment was successful; in that quite a few new constructions were discovered. The precision is low; but as a push-button tool for construction discovery; it has proven a valuable tool for the work on a Swedish constructicon.
