This book is the first English monograph to systematically explore
Chinese Multiword expressions (MWEs) by applying corpus-driven and
corpus-based approaches. It reveals the unique characteristics of
Chinese MWEs by examining their core attributes, identification and
classification, and knowledge framework. It also assesses, for the first
time, the distribution and density of Chinese MWEs in textbooks. By
doing so, the book provides important insights into Chinese language
learning, with implications for natural language processing,
lexicography, and psychology. Moreover, it offers a framework for
linguists, language teachers and learners, computer scientists,
lexicographers, and psychologists to explore their own areas of
interest.
