Grammatical Lexicon of Polish Phraseology

The Grammatical Lexicon of Polish Phraseology (SEJF = Słownik Elektroniczny Jednostek Frazeologicznych) is an electronic lexicon containing multi-word units (mainly nominal, adjectival and adverbial compounds) of the general (non terminological) Polish language. It has been created within the ERDF Nekst project and the IC1207 COST action PARSEME.

Some aspects of its construction, contents and use have been described in:

The lexicon contains about 3200 multi-word lexemes, 68,000 corresponding inflected forms, and 160 graph-based inflection paradigms, with the following distribution:

• 3,705 nominal compounds (e.g. bajońskie sumy),

• 422 adjectival compounds (e.g. prosty jak strzała, wprost proporcjonalny),

• 609 adverbial compounds (e.g. chcąc nie chcąc),

• 40 others (e.g. ni z gruszki, ni z pietruszki).

Tools

The lexicon has been created within Toposław, tool for developping and managing inflectional dictionaries of multi-word units. Toposław integrates:

• Morfeusz SGJP -- a morphological analyser and generator of Polish,

• Multiflex -- a morpho-syntactic generator of multi-word units,

• graph editor stemming from Unitex.
