Specific tests for categorizing verbal MWEs
Once a candidate VMWE has been pre-identified in steps 1 and 2 of the annotation process, and its distribution was established as verbal, the confirmation of its status as a VMWE, as well as its categorization, is done according to the decision diagrams and tests described in the following sections:
- Generic decision tree with structural tests (S)
- Light-verb constructions (LVCs)
- Verbal idioms (VIDs)
- Inherently reflexive verbs (IRVs)
- Idiomatic verb-particle constructions (IVPCs)
- Multi-verb constructions (MVCs)
- Inherently adpositional verbs (IAVs) - 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.
