Konbitzul: an MWE-specific database for Spanish-Basque
Proceedings of the Eleventh International Conference on Language Resources and Evaluation (LREC 2018)
Abstract
This paper presents Konbitzul, an online database of verb+noun MWEs in Spanish and Basque. It collects a list of MWEs with their translations, as well as linguistic information which is NLP-applicable: it helps to identify occurrences of MWEs in multiple morphosyn- tactic variants, and it is also useful for improving translation quality in rule-based MT. In addition to this, its user-friendly interface makes it possible to simply search for MWEs along with translations, just as in any bilingual phraseological dictionary.
