Description and Acquisition of Multiword Lexemes
@inproceedings{Storrer1993DescriptionAA, title={Description and Acquisition of Multiword Lexemes}, author={Angelika Storrer and Ulrike Schwall}, booktitle={EAMT Workshop}, year={1993} }
This paper deals with multiword lexemes (MWLs), focussing on two types of verbal MWLs: verbal idioms and support verb constructions. We discuss the characteristic properties of MWLs, namely nonstandard compositionality, restricted substitutability of components, and restricted morpho-syntactic flexibility, and we show how these properties may cause serious problems during the analysis, generation, and transfer steps of machine translation systems. In order to cope with these problems, MT…

This paper deals with the "word" status of suffixes in a Turkish speaker's mental lexicon and their perception as units and a treatment of these as units may remove certain delimitations in computational applications and the ambiguity problem frequently encountered when parsing Turkish texts.
Corpus-based Investigations on German Support Verb Constructions

Support verb constructions like to take a risk or to set into motion are composed of a verb component (to take, to set) and a noun component (risk, motion). The noun component is typically a…
The automatic translation of idioms: machine translation vs. translation memory systems

The requirements for automatically recognizing idioms are investigated and it is checked whether idiom recognition is possible within current translation systems, i.e. machine translation and translation memory systems.

Translation events in cross-language information retrieval: lexical ambiguity, lexical holes, vocabulary mismatch, and correct translations
