This paper presents the development of a corpus of annotated multiword expressions (MWEs) for Ukrainian. The resource covers four major categories of MWEs: verbal, nominal, adjectival/adverbial, and functional. We describe the methodology used for data selection, the annotation scheme, and the procedures employed during annotation. In addition, the paper discusses some specific types of MWE constructions, illustrating their usage with numerous examples and addressing complex and borderline cases. The resulting corpus is an important resource for linguistic studies and NLP tasks involving MWEs, and is publicly accessible https://gitlab.com/parseme/sharedtask-data/-/tree/master/2.0?ref_type=heads.

We describe a Ukrainian-Russian code-switching corpus of Ukrainian Parliamentary Session Transcripts. The corpus includes speeches entirely in Ukrainian, Russian, or various types of mixed speech and allows us to see how speakers switch between these languages depending on the communicative situation. The paper describes the process of creating this corpus from the official multilingual transcripts using automatic language detecting and publicly available metadata on the speakers. On this basis, we consider possible reasons for the change in the number of Ukrainian speakers in the parliament and present the most common patterns of bilingual Ukrainian and Russian code-switching in parliamentarians’ speeches.
