Summary/Abstract: This study focuses on two-word MWEs expressed by several grammatical forms in the Dictionary of Lithuanian Nominal Phrases. We analyse the distribution of grammatical categories in the two-word MWEs, which are mainly understood as typical collocations. The study aims to provide a detailed documentation of the usage of grammatical categories, with a specific emphasis on the case category, in order to show the correlations between each case and a particular syntactic function. The paper contributes to the description of grammatical features of Lithuanian MWEs by providing the quantitative distribution data of verbal and nominal categories, which are then contrasted with the usage of the same categories in written and spoken Lithuanian corpora.
