WG1 Tasks: Task 1.2 on MWE annotation guidelines and UD-PARSEME unification

Abstract: PARSEME is an initiative bringing together researchers of multiword expressions (MWEs) - a community that develops unified guidelines enabling consistent annotation of text corpora across many languages. One of the key features of the PARSEME model developed within PARSEME is tractability, which notably means that the corpus must be easily usable in natural language processing. Our goal here, however, is to move beyond the perspective adopted so far and to put ourselves in the shoes of a linguist who uses computational resources, but does not necessarily create them: we establish a common ground by presenting a linguistic background of PARSEME and principles of the tests. We also verify whether a similar set of tests can be applied to both content and functional words. At the end, we talk about several linguistic studies in which the PARSEME corpus has been used.
