Meeting Description:

This workshop and collaboration arise from the project Giving gifts
and doing favours: Unlocking Greek support-verb constructions funded
by the Leverhulme Trust (grant n. ECF-2020-181) at the University of
Oxford (2020–2024). The workshop is a hands-on experience that
requires participants to get involved in annotating small samples of
text. Annotation guidelines and training will be provided in every
session and participants are then asked to apply these to small
samples provided. The final session is interested in bringing
experiences together with the eventual goal of drafting a Wikipedia
article on support-verb constructions in Ancient Greek.

PARSEME is ‘an interdisciplinary scientific network devoted to the
role of multi-word expressions (MWEs) in parsing’, specifically in
Natural Language Processing. The annotated corpus currently contains
30 languages and 6 dialects from 10 language families, including a
Modern Greek corpus. The annotated corpora are accessible here and
guidelines for how to query them can be found here. The Ancient Greek
corpus is the first corpus-language corpus to join the PARSEME family.

Verbal multi-word expressions are lexically speaking multi-lexemic
units, e.g. to look up, to make a suggestion, and to take heart, the
syntactic head of which is the verb. The semantic head is not
necessarily the verb! Syntactically speaking, verbal multi-word
expressions are complex predicates, in that they are monoclausal and
in that all the lexemes contribute to the event structure. A multitude
of frameworks have been applied to verbal multi-word expressions.

Verbal multi-word expressions sit at three interfaces, the
syntax-lexicon interface (e.g. to take heart vs to make a suggestion),
the syntax-semantics interface (e.g. to lack patience vs to have no
patience), and the syntax-pragmatics interface (e.g. to make a comment
vs to make a contribution). This hovering at interfaces contributes to
the internal heterogeneity of this group of constructions.
