Abstract

Multiword expressions (MWEs) find application in almost all NLP tasks such as machine translation, information retrieval, question-answering, etc. Multiword expressions are lexical items that can be decomposed into single words and display lexical, syntactic, semantic, pragmatic, and/or statistical idiosyncrasy. MWEs in Marathi are quite varied and many of these are of the types that are not encountered in English. This paper presents a survey regarding MWE research done for Indian and Foreign languages. The study and observations related to approaches, techniques, and features required to implement MWE detection system for various languages are reported.
