Multiword expression (MWE) (Q2)

Multiword expression (MWE): any phrase that is not entirely predictable on the basis of standard grammar rules and lexical entries
No immediate counterexamples to the claim that any expression that can be realised hyphenated/as a single lexeme or alternatively with spaces (e.g. mailman/postman vs. mail/post man), is a MWE. This could be used in the evaluation of extraction techniques, possibly using external resources to determine whether extracted expressions can be expressed hyphenated/without spaces (e.g. determine “optimal extraction volume” as the point where the ratio of such expressions is maximised)
