Structural and Semantic Classification of Verbal Multi-Word Expressions in Slovene
Structural and Semantic Classification of Verbal Multi-Word Expressions in Slovene

Summary/Abstract: This paper is an extended version of a conference paper presenting the categorization of verbal multi-word expressions (VMWEs) according to the PARSEME COST Action Shared Task 1.1 Guidelines. The categorization is universal but takes into account the characteristics of the individual languages included in it. The Shared Task was used to annotate over 13,000 sentences of the Slovene ssj500k 2.0 training corpus, which resulted in nearly 3,400 identified VMWEs categorized as inherently reflexive verbs, light verb constructions, inherently adpositional verbs, and verbal idioms. The paper presents both the quantitative and qualitative results of the analysis, compares the suggested categorization system to existing work on VMWEs in Slovene linguistics, and evaluates the use of the proposed system for future work.
