Phraseology and Multiword Expressions (PMWE,
https://langsci-press.org/catalog/series/pmwe) is a book series at
Language Science Press, a born-digital scholar-led open access
publisher in linguistics.
The series publishes high-quality books about conventionalized,
idiosyncratic combinations of words. Within the field of phraseology
such word combinations are sometimes called phrasemes, while the
computational linguistics community uses the term multiword
expressions for them. Various subtypes of such word combinations are
of interest, such as multiword compounds, multiword terms, multiword
named entities, light-verb constructions, phrasal verbs, idioms,
collocations, formulaic speech, proverbs, etc.
The series is open to different approaches to create a forum for an
interdisciplinary and cross-framework exchange of research results,
including but not limited to the following subdisciplines:
- Computational linguistics and natural language processing
- Computer science
- Corpus linguistics
- Lexicography
- Psycholinguistics
- Theoretical linguistics
We welcome volume proposals addressing all topics related to
theoretical, computational, and empirical approaches to phraseology
including:
- Linguistic properties and typologies of multiword expressions,
especially in multilingual frameworks
- Digital lexical resources including multiword expressions
- Description and processing of multiword expressions in syntactic and
semantic frameworks (e.g., CCG, CxG, HPSG, LFG, TAG, UD)
- Identification and annotation of multiword expressions in corpora
and treebanks
- Multiword expressions in machine translation and other end-user applications
- Multiword expressions and lexical innovation
- Diachronic studies and semantic change in multiword expressions
- Representation and evaluation of multiword expressions in language
models (e.g., LLMs) and text generation systems
All contributions should be in English.
To submit a volume proposal, please follow the guidelines at the
series home page:
