<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:5pt 35.7pt 5pt 0cm;line-height:normal"><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif"" lang="EN-US">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.</span></p>
