Estonian multiword expressions in computational linguistics

Summary/Abstract: Multiword expressions are known to pose problems for natural languge analysis. By multiword expressions we mean combinations of two or more word(form)s that are habitually used together to express a certain meaning; the term covers both idiomatic and collocational word combinations. This article concentrates on three main tasks in multiword expression processing: extraction, lexicon compilation and annotation. The standard methods for solving these tasks are analysed from the viewpoint of automatic analysis of Estonian, a language with a rich and complicated morphological structure and a free word (or constituent) order.
