Abstract: We present version 1.3 of the PARSEME multi- lingual corpus annotated with verbal multiword expressions. Since the previous version, new languages have joined the undertaking of creat- ing such a resource, some of the already exist- ing corpora have been enriched with new anno- tated texts, while others have been enhanced in various ways. The PARSEME multilingual cor- pus represents 26 languages now. All monolin- gual corpora therein use Universal Dependen- cies v.2 tagset. They are (re-)split observing the PARSEME v.1.2 standard, which puts impact on unseen VMWEs. With the current iteration, the corpus release process has been detached from shared tasks; instead, a process for con- tinuous improvement and systematic releases has been introduced.
