fixed: multi-word expression
The fixed relation is one of the three relations for multiword expressions (MWEs)
(the other two being flat and compound).
It is used for certain fixed grammaticized expressions that behave
like function words or short adverbials.
Any grammatical class can take part in a multiword expression, but usually they are a combination of adverbials and prepositions (usually a or di).
Some of the most common fixed cases for Italian are listed in the examples below.
Oltre a le tradizionali uniformi .
fixed(Oltre, a)
Grazie a la moglie .
fixed(Grazie, a)
Fino a Forlì .
fixed(Fino, a)
Vediamo prima di tutto i fatti .
fixed(prima, di)
Pur se .
fixed(Pur, se)
Fixed MWEs are annotated in a flat structure, where all subsequent words in the expression are attached to the first one.
Fino a quando .
fixed(Fino, a)
fixed(Fino, quando)
