mwe
: multi-word expression
The multi-word expression (modifier) relation is one of the three
relations (compound, mwe
, name) for compounding.
It is used for certain fixed grammaticized expressions that behave
like function words or short adverbials.
The scope of mwe
annotation corresponds roughly to the fixed
expressions category of
Sag et al., but
excludes any relations in scope of name or compound.
Additionally, limited morphosyntactic variation may be allowed
for MWEs in exceptional cases.
Multiword expressions are annotated in a flat, head-initial structure,
in which all words in the expression modify the first one using the
mwe
label.
