    Subject: The treatment of phrasal verbs in NLP systems


    I'm interested in information regarding attempts of processing English phrasal verbs in NLP systems. I did find an article on tagging phrasal verbs, published by Nava Shaked at ACL 1993, as well as her dissertation on this topic. I also found a few articles on machine translation of phrasal verbs from English to other languages (such as the one by Vartika Bhandari, 2002) and solutions to multiword expressions in NLP systems (such as the one by Ivan A. Sag et al, 2001). I am wondering if there are some other important works I am missing here on this subject. I would really appreciate it if anyone could help.

    Thanks.

    Dear colleagues,

    With regard to a repertory of resources on genre 'story' (as the stories of Edgar Allan Poe, Anton Tchekhov, Wilde, etc., as well modern authors) I'll highly appreciate any information for: 1. existing corpora of literary stories available on the Net in any language. 2. comparative linguistic research on multilingual stories' corpora. Please reply to rossitza_kyhengyahoo.com

    Looking forward to your suggestions, Best regards,
