General Principles

  • Naturally occurring examples are given preference to created examples.
  • Examples are marked as to whether they are created or natural.
  • Basis of the classification: Sag et al. 2002 and Baldwin and Kim 2010:
    • Fixed MWEs: no flexibility allowed whatsoever.
    • Semi-fixed MWEs: only meaningless, obligatory variation allowed.
    • Flexible MWEs: variation allowed that indicates that part of the MWE should be assigned meaning.
  • For each MWE, for each constituent inside this MWE: apply tests for its degree of flexibility
