    Specific tests for categorizing verbal MWEs
Once a candidate VMWE has been pre-identified in steps 1 and 2 of the annotation process, the confirmation of its status as a VMWE, as well as its categorization, is done according to the decision tree referring to the following cross-lingual tests:
- Structural tests (S)
 - Light-verb constructions (LVC)
 - Verbal idioms (VID)
 - Inherently reflexive verbs (IRV)
 - Verb-particle constructions (VPC)
 - Multi-verb constructions (MVC)
 - Inherently adpositional verbs (IAV) - optional and experimental
 
Additionally, language-specific categories (LS) can be defined and tests for them can be used to annotate them in a given language or language group only.
