对英语MWEs(多词表达)已经有了比较清楚的界定，而对汉语多词表达，不知有没有一个成熟的定义？
[求助]MWEs(多词表达)的界定

Timothy Baldwin对英语多词表达的定义为1. decomposable into multiple simplex words
2. lexically, syntactically, semantically, pragmatically and/or statistically idiosyncratic
这一定义本身也是含糊的，把它推广到汉语，更是有很多问题，比如：“工作单位”应该被认为是一个二词组合还是一个多词表达？

正是因为上面的定义不适合于汉语，所以才要对其进行修正使其能更好的对汉语的多词表达进行概括。使我们研究中的英语和汉语多词表达有一个共同的所指。 我认为多词表达应该包括熟语和常用语。 熟语指的是哪些语言中定型的词组或句子， 不能任意改变和替换其组织。它在语义上是不可分割的。它包括成语，谚语，歇后语，专门语，缩略语等。 常用语指的是哪些在语义上可以分割，但在使用中出现频率较高的搭配组合。他的内部成分具有可替换性。

Dr Xu 的方法对常用语的提取是可行的。但对噪音信息的剔除将会是一个难题。 我们必须设计一个句法过滤器，使它能够自动过滤掉在句法上不符合要求的词簇。 另外， 对汉语N词词簇的提取似乎也是一个问题，不知哪一款软件能很好的实现这一功能？wordsmith, MLCT, Paraconc好像都无能为力

工作单位这一表达到底算不算一个多词表达，只有真实的语料说了算。
最近在corpora mailing list 上有个相关的讨论，转贴在这里，希望对感兴趣的朋友有所帮助。

Dear Joanna,
I don't know the source of the suggestion, but I don't think you should
assume that a sequence which would be treated as formulaic without a
hesitation in the middle of it is necessarily non-formulaic because of the
hesitation. A lot, of course, depends on how you define formulaic sequences.
You might be interested in the following references which contain material
on pausing in relation to formulaic strings:
Erman, B. (forthcoming) Pauses as evidence of cognitive effort in
prefabricated and non-prefabricated structures. International Journal of
Corpus Linguistics.
Raupach, M. (1984) Formulae in second language speech production. In H. W.
Dechert, D. Möhle and M. Raupach (eds.) Second Language Production.
Tübingen: Gunter Narr, 114-137.
Wray, A. (2004) 'Here's one I prepared earlier': formulaic language learning
on television. In N. Schmitt (ed.) Formulaic Sequences: Acquisition,
Processing and Use. (Language Learning and Language Teaching 9). Amsterdam
and Philadelphia: John Benjamins, 249-268.
