Grammatical Lexicon of Polish Phraseology

The Grammatical Lexicon of Polish Phraseology (SEJF = Słownik Elektroniczny Języka polskiego dla wyrażeń 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.

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

• GRALIŃSKI, F., SAVARY, A., CZEREPOWICKA, M., MAKOWIECKI, F. (2010): Computational Lexicography of Multi-Word Units: How Efficient Can It Be?, in Proceedings of Multiword Expressions: from Theory to Applications (MWE 2010), Workshop at COLING 2010, Beijing, China, August 28.
