Verbal Multiword Expressions in Croatian

Krešimir Šojat, Matea Filko, Daša Farkaš


Abstract
The paper deals with verbal multiword expressions in Croatian. We focus on four types of verbal constructions: light verb constructions, i.e. constructions consisting of a light verb and a noun or prepositional phrase, complex predicate constructions, i.e. constructions consisting of a finite and infinitive verb, prepositional verb constructions, i.e. constructions consisting of a verb and a typical preposition, and, finally, verbal idioms, i.e. constructions with completely idiosyncratic meanings. All the constructions are annotated in the Universal Dependency treebank for Croatian. The identification of verbal multiword expressions is an important task in numerous NLP tasks. It is also important to define and delimitate this concept in linguistic theory.
