This paper presents evaluation of different approaches to extract verb-noun idiomatic expressions in Czech. These approaches are based on the structure of the idiom and its behavior in language. PMI and syntactic and lexical fixedness modified using VerbaLex and generated thesaurus provide useful tool for choosing best idiomatic candidates for manual annotation and evaluation. Moreover we focus...

We describe an algorithm for automatic classification of idiomatic and literal expressions. Our starting point is that words in a given text segment, such as a paragraph, that are highranking representatives of a common topic of discussion are less likely to be a part of an idiomatic expression. Our additional hypothesis is that contexts in which idioms occur, typically, are more affective and ...

Every language contains complex expressions that are language-specific. The general problem when trying to build au tomated translation systems or human-readable dictionaries is to detect expressions that can be used idiomatically and then whether the expressions can be used idiomatically in a particular text, or whether a literal t ranslat ion would be preferred. It follows from the definition...

Idiomatic expressions (IEs) play an essential role in natural language. In this paper, we study the task of idiomatic sentence paraphrasing (ISP), which aims to paraphrase a with IE by replacing its literal paraphrase. The lack large-scale corpora idiomatic-literal parallel sentences is primary challenge for task, consider two separate solutions. First, propose unsupervised approach ISP, levera...

Multiword expressions are a key problem for the development of large-scale, linguistically sound natural language processing technology. This paper surveys the problem and some currently available analytic techniques. The various kinds of multiword expressions should be analyzed in distinct ways, including listing “words with spaces”, hierarchically organized lexicons, restricted combinatoric r...

This study investigates the effects of left- (LHD) or right-hemisphere damage (RHD) on the production of matched idiomatic or literal expressions by examining healthy listeners' abilities to identify, evaluate and perceptually characterize the utterances. Native speakers of Korean with LHD or RHD and healthy controls (HCs) produced six ditropically ambiguous (idiomatic or literal) sentences in ...
