  abstract  = {Non-compositional multiword expressions (MWEs) still pose serious issues for a
	variety of natural language processing tasks and their ubiquity makes it
	impossible to get around methods which automatically identify these kind of
	MWEs. The method presented in this paper was inspired by Sporleder and Li
	\shortcite{sporleder2009unsupervised} and is able to discriminate between the
	literal and non-literal use of an MWE in an unsupervised way. It is based on
	the assumption that words in a text form cohesive units. If the cohesion of
	these units is weakened by an expression, it is classified as literal, and
	otherwise as idiomatic. While Sporleder an Li used \textit{Normalized Google
	Distance} to modell semantic similarity, the present work examines the use of a
	variety of different word embeddings.},
