Abstract

Multiword expressions (MWEs) have been widely studied in cross-lingual annotation frameworks such as PARSEME. However, Korean MWEs remain underrepresented in these efforts.In particular, Korean multiword adpositions lack systematic analysis, annotated resources, and integration into existing frameworks.In this paper, we present a study of Korean functional multiword expressions: postpositional verb-based constructions (PVCs).Using data from Korean Wikipedia, we survey and analyze several PVC expressions and contrast them from non-MWEs with similar structure.Building on this analysis, we propose annotation guidelines designed to support future work in Korean multiword adpositions and facilitate alignment with cross-lingual frameworks.
