*Synopsis *

Multiword expressions (MWEs) are a challenge for both the natural language
applications and the linguistic theory because they often defy the
application of the machinery developed for free combinations where the
default is that the meaning of an utterance can be predicted from its
structure. There is a rich body of primarily descriptive work on MWEs for
many European languages but comparative work is little. The volume brings
together MWE experts to explore the benefits of a multilingual perspective
on MWEs. The ten contributions in this volume look at MWEs in Bulgarian,
English, French, German, Maori, Modern Greek, Romanian, Serbian, and
Spanish. They discuss prominent issues in MWE research such as
classification of MWEs, their formal grammatical modeling, and the
description of individual MWE types from the point of view of different
theoretical frameworks, such as Dependency Grammar, Generative Grammar,
Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar, Lexical Functional Grammar, Lexicon
Grammar.
