  abstract  = {This paper presents a methodology for identifying and resolving various kinds
	of inconsistency in the context of merging dependency and multiword expression
	(MWE) annotations, to generate a dependency treebank with comprehensive MWE
	annotations. Candidates for correction are identified using a variety of
	heuristics, including an entirely novel one which identifies violations of MWE
	constituency in the dependency tree, and resolved by arbitration with minimal
	human intervention. Using this technique, we identified and corrected several
	hundred errors across both parse and MWE annotations, representing changes to a
	significant percentage (well over 10%) of the MWE instances in the joint
	corpus.},
