DuELME: Search interface to the Dutch Electronic Lexicon of Multiword Expressions

The DuELME search interface provides access to the DUELME electronic lexicon, which contains more than 5,000 Dutch multiword expressions (MWEs). MWEs with the same syntactic pattern are grouped in the same equivalence class. The search interface enables users to search for MWEs on the basis of a range of syntactic and semantic criteria, among them expression, pattern id, written form, type, conjugation, polarity, parameters, form, etc. Extensive documentation on the structure of the database is available. DuELME (Dutch Electronic Lexicon of Multiword Expressions) is one of the results of the project Identification and Representation of Multiword Expressions (IRME). The lexical descriptions boast to be highly theory- and implementation-neutral. The DUELME LMF lexicon is suitable for theoretical research on multiword expressions as for use in NLP systems. The DuELME-LMF project has been carried out within the CLARIN-NL programme.
