 ====== Call for expressions of interest in PARSEME/UniDive annotation campaign on multiword expressions ======
-The [[https://unidive.lisn.upsaclay.fr/|UniDive]] COST action (task 1.2) and the [[https://gitlab.com/parseme/corpora/-/wikis|PARSEME]] community are happy to announce the upcoming **multilingual corpus annotation campaign** dedicated to multiword expressions (MWEs). We call for expression of interest from current or future Language Leaders, who wish to propose a language team. If you are interested, please, fill in the [[https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1gWrTQGHotfy_42lKx_5TkAsriUxMhNZXroFeTdJnVY4/preview|EoI form]], best before **27 February 2025**.

 Three past PARSEME annotation campaigns were dedicated exclusively to __verbal__ MWEs (VMWEs) and resulted in 4 editions of the [[https://gitlab.com/parseme/corpora/-/wikis/home|PARSEME corpus]], which jointly covers **26 languages**.  Three [[https://gitlab.com/parseme/corpora/-/wikis/home#shared-tasks|PARSEME shared tasks]] on automatic identification of VMWEs have been organized on the basis of this corpus and set the state of the art in the task.
-The current annotation campaign will cover MWEs of **all syntactic types**. It follows the spirit of **universality**. Namely, the [[https://parsemefr.lis-lab.fr/parseme-st-guidelines/2.0|annotation guidelines]] are unified across all participating languages, whenever possible, still leaving room for truly language-specific phenomena. This approach is expected to promote meaningful cross-language comparisons. The resulting corpus will be used in a **PARSEME/UniDive shared task** on identifying and understanding MWEs, to be proposed for [[https://semeval.github.io/SemEval2026/cft|SemEval 2026]].

 For the languages already present in the PARSEME corpus, the agenda is to:
   * Re-annotate the existing corpus with MWEs other than verbal. Annotating only part of the existing corpus is an option. In this case we recommend a minimum of 3500 annotated MWEs (so that each selected text is exhaustively annotated for all syntactic types of MWEs). A lower number of annotations can do but the system results are expected not to be representative.
   * Add some new texts annotated from scratch (to counterbalance language model contamination from previously published data)
 For new languages, corpora will be annotated for all syntactic types at once.
+Conversions from other MWE annotation schemes are fine, if curated so as to fit the PARSEME guidelines.
 A language team should consist of **at least 2 annotators** (including the Language Leader), for the sake of inter-annotator agreement estimation. It is possible to start annotating alone and recruit more annotators at a later stage (May at latest).
