Representation and parsing of multiword expressions: Current trends

by Yannick Parmentier and Jakub Waszczuk (editors)

About this book

This collection examines how computational language systems can represent and analyse multiword expressions, including idioms, compound expressions and other combinations that behave as lexical units. Yannick Parmentier and Jakub Waszczuk bring together approaches from grammar engineering, parsing and multilingual language processing.

Ten chapters cover lexical encoding, flexibility in verbal expressions, grammar frameworks, statistical parsing, automatic recognition and cross-language alignment. Examples and experiments show how treating these expressions explicitly affects the design and performance of language-processing tools. The complete 2019 publisher volume preserves its diagrams, tables, references and index.
