Objectives

• Better understanding of linguistic properties of MWEs, in particular at the lexical and syntactic level
• Enhancing the usability of MWE lexicons and valence dictionaries in parsing
• Paving the way towards interoperability of lexicons and the reduction of their production cost.

Expected outcomes

• Reports on the contrastive analysis of lexical and syntactic properties of MWEs in different European languages
• Already existing lexicons and valence dictionaries enhanced and enriched with MWEs, for several European languages
• Design proposals for cost-saving abstract models of MWEs' properties, such as meta-grammars that could be automatically mapped to different lexicon and grammar formalisms; these models would apply to different languages in question.

Workplan

Year 1 (till March 2014)

• Comparative study of MWEs in the parseme languages:
  • Definition of an MWE-template: trial template: http://www.lexical-resource-semantics.de/wiki/index.php/Parseme_WG1
  • Filling in the template for some example languages
• Collection of lexical resources of MWEs (links, descriptions, tools, ...)

Year 2 (till March 2015)

• Internal and external reviewing of collaborative publication
• Enrichment of lexical resources on MWEs
• With WG 2: Example integration of MWE representations into grammar implementations
• With WG 4: Discussing WG1's classification criteria with tree bank annotation

Recent activity: Book project: Multiword Expressions: Insights from a Multi-lingual Perspective

• Instructions for the chapters (deadline: August 1, 2015)
• Call for contributions
• Instructions for posters on chapter outlines

Year 3 (till March 2016)

For more details see the slides of the WG1 sessions and the slides of Jelena Mitrović's presentation on ontologies and rhetorical figures during the 4th General meeting, Valletta, Malta.

• Linguistic properties of MWEs:
  • Submit volume to publisher
  • Improve and enrich MWE templates (on the WG1 wiki)
• Lexical encoding:Đorđević
• • Survey of lexical resources (Link to the survey form, link to the survey results)
  • Survey of lexical encodings
  • Examples and e-learning resources on lexical encoding with recommendations
• Cooperations:
• • With WG 2: contribute to a critical, abstract test suite for MWEs in parsing systems
  • With the COST Action European Network on e-Lexicography (ENeL), working group Innovative e-Dictionaries: initiate joint activity

Scheduled activities for year 3

• September 21 & 22, 2015: Hands-on workshop on lexical encoding
• September 23 & 24, 2015:  5th General meeting, Iași, Romania: WG1 sessions
• March 2016: 6th General meeting, FYR Macedonia: WG1 sessions

Year 4 (till March 2017)
