====== PARSEME or PARSEME-FR? ======

We are frequently asked this question: What is the difference between PARSEME and PARSEME-FR? This page tries to a give a concise and precise answer.

==== PARSEME ====

**[[http://www.parseme.eu|PARSEME]]** is a **European network** on PARsing and Multiword Expressions. Some facts:
  * It was funded by the IC1207 [[https://www.cost.eu/|COST]] action in 2013-2017. After the funding period, the network still remains active. 
  * It is structured into [[https://typo.uni-konstanz.de/parseme/index.php/organization/working-groups|4 Working Groups]], gathering [[http://www.info.univ-tours.fr/parseme/|over 200 researchers]] from 31 countries, working on 30 languages and 6 dialects from 10 language families
  * Its main [[https://typo.uni-konstanz.de/parseme/index.php/results|outcomes]] include:
    * Unified [[http://parsemefr.lif.univ-mrs.fr/parseme-st-guidelines/|annotation guidelines]] for verbal MWEs
    * **PARSEME multilingual corpus of verbal MWEs**, in versions [[http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-2282|1.0]] (18 languages), [[http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-2842|1.1]] (20 languages), and [[https://gitlab.com/parseme/sharedtask-data/tree/master/1.2|1.2]] (14 languages)
    * **PARSEME shared task** on automatic identification of verbal MWEs, editions [[http://multiword.sourceforge.net/sharedtask2017|1.0]], [[http://multiword.sourceforge.net/sharedtask2018|1.1]], and [[http://multiword.sourceforge.net/sharedtask2020|1.2]].
    * [[http://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/pmwe|Phraseology and Multiword Expressions]] (PMWE) - a book series at Language Science Press, Berlin.
  * Since the end of the funding period in 2017, the PARSEME follow-up activities have been coordinated by the [[http://multiword.sourceforge.net/|SIGLEX MWE section]].
  * The [[https://gitlab.com/parseme/corpora/wikis/home|corpus development]] activities have been ongoing for several years, with regular releases related to the shared tasks, and no dedicated funding.

==== PARSEME-FR ====

**[[http://parsemefr.lis-lab.fr|PARSEME-FR]]** is a French national project, a spin-off of the PARSEME COST action. Basic facts:
  * It is funded by the French national ANR research agency in 2016-2020.
  * Its [[http://parsemefr.lis-lab.fr/doku.php?id=partners|consortium]] gathers 5 French universities 
  * Its main outcomes include the French [[https://deep-sequoia.inria.fr/|Sequoia corpus]] annotated for **all types** of MWEs (i.e. not only verbal). The annotation of verbal VMWEs in Sequoia was performed within the PARSEME corpus annotation project and is compatible with its guidelines (see above).

==== Links between PARSEME-FR and PARSEME ====

The links between PARSEME-FR and PARSEME are strong. Notably, as far as outcomes are concerned:
  * The [[https://gitlab.lis-lab.fr/PARSEME-FR/PARSEME-FR-public/wikis/Guide-annotation-PARSEME_FR-chapeau|PARSEME-FR annotation guidelines]] served as seminal work for the multilingual [[http://parsemefr.lif.univ-mrs.fr/parseme-st-guidelines/|PARSEME guidelines]]
  * The [[http://parsemefr.lif.univ-mrs.fr/parseme-st-guidelines/|PARSEME guidelines]] were used for the annotation of verbal MWEs is Sequoia (but other types of MWEs are annotated in Sequoia, too)
  * Consequently, Sequoia (that is, the original corpus and its verbal MWE annotations) is also part of the French subcorpus of the [[http://hdl.handle.net/11372/LRT-2842|PARSEME corpus]]
