Title
A Corpus of Literal and Idiomatic Uses of German Infinitive-Verb Compounds.
Abstract
We present an annotation study on a representative dataset of literal and idiomatic uses of infinitive-verb compounds in German newspaper and journal texts. Infinitive-verb compounds form a challenge for writers of German, because spelling regulations are different for literal and idiomatic uses. Through the participation of expert lexicographers we were able to obtain a high-quality corpus resource which is offered as a testbed for automatic idiomaticity detection and coarse-grained word-sense disambiguation. We trained a classifier on the corpus which was able to distinguish literal and idiomatic uses with an accuracy of 85%.
