Abstract

The subcategorization of multiword expressions (MWEs) is still problematic because of the great variability of their phenomenology. This article presents an attempt to categorize Italian nominal MWEs on the basis of their syntactic and semantic behaviour by considering features that can be tested on corpora. Our analysis shows how these features can lead to a differentiation of the expressions in two groups which correspond to the intuitive notions of multiword units and lexical collocations.
