Abstract:

Multiword expressions (MWEs), such as noun compounds (e.g. nickname in
English, and Ohrwurm in German), complex verbs (e.g. give up in English, and
aufgeben in German) and idioms (e.g. break the ice in English, and das Eis
brechen in German), may be interpreted literally but often undergo meaning
shifts with respect to their constituents. Theoretical, psycholinguistic as
well as computational linguistic research remain puzzled by when and how MWEs
receive literal vs. meaning-shifted interpretations, what the contributions of
the MWE constituents are to the degree of semantic transparency (i.e., meaning
compositionality) of the MWE, and how literal vs. meaning-shifted MWEs are
processed and computed. This edited volume presents an interdisciplinary
selection of seven papers on recent findings across linguistic,
psycholinguistic, corpus-based and computational research fields and
perspectives, discussing the interaction of constituent properties and MWE
meanings, and how MWE constituents contribute to the processing and
representation of MWEs. The collection is based on a workshop at the 2017
annual conference of the German Linguistic Society (DGfS) that took place at
Saarland University in Saarbrücken, Germany
