  abstract  = {This paper presents our ongoing work on compilation of English multi-word
	expression (MWE) lexicon.  We are especially interested in collecting flexible
	MWEs, in which some other components can intervene the expression such as "a
	number of'' vs "a large number of'' where a modifier of "number'' can be placed
	in the expression and inherit the original meaning.  We fiest collect possible
	candidates of flexible English MWEs from the web, and annotate all of their
	occurrences in the Wall Street Journal portion of Ontonotes corpus.  We make
	use of word dependency strcuture information of the sentences converted from
	the phrase structure annotation.  This process enables semi-automatic
	annotation of MWEs in the corpus and simultanaously produces the internal and
	external dependency representation of flexible MWEs.},
