Idiomatic Language: Multiword Expressions

在国家科学基金会的支持下，Ivan Sag博士将对多词表达(MWES)进行为期三年的语言学研究。在走向健壮和自然语言技术的道路上，MWES是一个必须解决的问题。固定短语可以以带空格的单词的形式进入词典，但这甚至不足以处理像‘词性(S)’和‘Kicks/Kick/Kick the Bucket’(“死亡”)这样的情况。此外，一些半固定的表达方式表现出位置上的变化(例如，‘查找答案/查找答案’)，而另一些具有相同语义特性的表达则不表现为(例如，‘Follow of a Log’)

With National Science Foundation support, Dr. Ivan Sag will conduct three years of linguistic research on multiword expressions (MWEs). MWEs are a problem that must be solved on the route to robust and natural natural language technology. Fixed expressions can be entered into a lexicon as words-with-spaces, but this is inadequate even for cases like 'part(s) of speech' and 'kicks/kick/kicked/kicking the bucket' ("die"). Further, some semi-fixed expressions exhibit positional variation (e.g., 'look up the answer/look the answer up'), while others of equal semantic idiosyncrasy do not (e.g., 'falling off a lo
