Multi-word units are lexical units that are written as more than one word. They constitute a rather heterogeneous class, whose only unifying feature is that they represent a mismatch between orthographic representation and lexical units.

In this paper we present the principles of lexico-semantic annotation of Składnica Treebank using Polish WordNet lexical units. We describe different means of annotation, depending on the structure of a sentence in Składnica on the one hand and the availability of adequate lexical unit in PLWN on the other. Apart from “standard” annotation involving lexical units with the same lemma as the toke...

This paper focuses on the learning of multi-word lexical units, or phrases, and how to model them within the variable n-gram framework. We introduce the notion of contextdependent phrases and suggest an algorithm for unsupervised learning of phrases. Also, we propose an approach to integrate a phrase grammar and a variable n-gram without the need of explicitly handling multi-word lexical items....
