Short abstract
The processing and representation of multi-word expressions, ranging from noun compounds (e.g. “hogwash” in English, and “Ohrwurm” in German) to particle verbs (e.g. “give up” in English, and “aufgeben” in German) has remained an unsettled issue. In this workshop, we aim to shed light on the interaction of constituent properties and compound transparency across languages and disciplines integrating linguistic, psycholinguistic, corpus-based and computational studies.
