EACL 2006 Workshop on

Multi-word-expressions in a multilingual context

April 3rd 2006, Trento, Italy

http://ucrel.lancs.ac.uk/EACL06MWEmc/

The EACL 2006 Workshop on "Multi-word-expressions in a multilingual context" will be hosted in
conjunction with the 11th Conference of the European Chapter of
the Association for Computational Linguistics that will take
place April 3-7, 2006, in Trento, italy.


* DESCRIPTION

For many years, interest in the NLP community of the problems that multiword-expressions (MWE) posed was focussed mainly on English. Recently, for example at the ACL2004 workshop on multiword expressions, attention has begun to expand to other languages such as Japanese, Russian, Basque and Turkish. This necessitates a re-evaluation of earlier rule-based, statistical and hybrid techniques for MWE identification and classification. In English, MWE types such as phrasal verbs, noun phrases, proper names, and true non-compositional idioms, are considered. However, in other languages some MWE types are represented as compound words, e.g. phrasal verbs in English are generally expressed as verb-prefix in Russian.  At the same time, research on MWEs for languages other than English is confronted with new problems, such as the number of word forms per lemma or free word order. Our focus in this workshop will be to incorporate the requirements from different areas such as translation, language engineering and those studying computational techniques for the processing of MWE of language learners and how all these requirements differ across languages.
