Multiword expressions (MWEs) are a class of linguistic forms spanning conventional word
boundaries that are both idiosyncratic and pervasive across different languages. The …

Idiomatic expressions are plentiful in everyday language, yet they remain mysterious, as it is
not clear exactly how people learn and understand them. They are of special interest to …

This paper presents a constructioninspecific model of multiword expression decomposability
based on latent semantic analysis. We use latent semantic analysis to determine the …

This paper proposes a series of techniques for extracting English verb–particle constructions
from raw text corpora. We initially propose three basic methods, based on tagger output …

Because most multiword expressions (MWEs), especially verbal ones, are semantically non-
compositional, their automatic identification in running text is a prerequisite for semantically …

This paper describes a new part-of-speech tagger including multiword unit (MWU)
identification. It is based on a Conditional Random Field model integrating language …

The aim of this paper is to present PARSEME, a COST Action devoted to the issue of
Multiword Expressions in parsing and in linguistic resources (corpora, lexicons). This is a …

Idioms, conceived as fixed multi-word expressions that conceptually encode non-
compositional meaning, are linguistic units that raise a number of questions relevant in the …

This paper presents the Multiword Expression Toolkit (mwetoolkit), an environment for type
and language-independent MWE identification from corpora. The mwetoolkit provides a …

This article describes the design and implementation of a Dutch Electronic Lexicon of
Multiword Expressions (DuELME). DuELME describes the core properties of over 5,000 …
