Annotation guidelines
corpora annotated for multiword expressions
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.
