A French Corpus Annotated for Multiword Expressions with Adverbial Function

arXiv:2606.04828v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: This paper presents a French corpus annotated for multiword expressions (MWEs) with adverbial function. This corpus is designed for investigation on information retrieval and extraction, as well as on deep and shallow syntactic parsing. We delimit which kind of MWEs we annotated, we describe the resources and methods we used for the annotation, and we briefly comment the results. The annotated corpus is available at http://infolingu.univ-mlv.fr/ under the LGPLLR license.

Why this matters
Why now

This is a new academic paper presenting a specialized linguistic corpus, typical output from computational linguistics research.

Why it’s important

A strategic reader would find this important only if deeply involved in very niche natural language processing research focusing on multiword expressions in French.

What changes

This paper provides a new dataset for French NLP, which marginally improves research capabilities in this specific subfield.

Winners
  • · Computational Linguists
