  abstract  = {Much previous research on multiword expressions (MWEs) has focused on the
	token- and type-level tasks of MWE identification and extraction, respectively.
	Such studies typically target known prevalent MWE types in a given language.
	This paper describes the first attempt to learn the MWE inventory of a
	“surprise” language for which we have no explicit prior knowledge of MWE
	patterns, certainly no annotated MWE data, and not even a parallel corpus. Our
	proposed model is trained on a treebank with MWE relations of a source
	language, and can be applied to the monolingual corpus of the surprise language
	to identify its MWE construction types.},
