“…Let us examine single units first. The idea that a single unit is an MWE refers to taking out the multiword string as a whole from the mental lexicon (Hüning & Schlücker, 2015;Wray, 2008). In this paper, if a subject utters multiword strings from his memory, it is considered as a single unit.…”

The purpose of this paper is to observe how EFL learners use multiword expressions (MWEs) or multiword combinations (MWCs) in their writings. Three subjects participated in this writing activity. After, an American romantic drama film, was chosen as material. Three scenes, which were translated into Korean, were provided to the subjects. They were then assigned to write in English with the Korean compositions. The results indicated various information about the strategies of the subjects' use of MWEs. Subject A depended on one-word, two-word, or three-word utterances due to his lack of English grammatical knowledge. He simply showed sequences based on meaning relations. Subject B used phrase-long MWEs (P-MWEs) relatively more often and combined a P-MWE with another P-MWE to generate sentences. His grammatical knowledge motivated such combinations, but the sentences hardly looked natural. Subject C primarily used sentence-long MWEs. They seemed to make his composition effortless. Through these writing activities, it was found that MWCs can be developed to MWEs in the case of subject A and that grammar learning before MWCs or MWEs learning may be harmful to learn L2 naturalness in B's case, and that sentence-long MWEs should be an ultimate goal in C's case.

“…Sag et al (2002: 3) defi ne multiword expressions -MWEs -as "idiosyncratic interpretations that cross word boundaries (or spaces)". Such expressions are quite common and may make up even more than half of the speaker's lexicon making them very interesting for both linguistics and natural language processing (see Hüning andSchlücker 2015, Gantar et al 2018). Th us, it is not surprising to fi nd them in the terminology of colors as well.…”

Th is paper presents a computational approach to the automatic detection of language patterns, specifi cally those dealing with expressing colors in the Croatian language. It investigates diff erent lexicalization patterns of color terms, mainly compounds and multiword units, in order to classify them and prepare them for usage in the design of an algorithm that will automatically recognize and annotate these expressions in Croatian text. Th e paper also presents a comparative analysis of diff erent classes of color terms found in a corpus built from books intended for younger (CLC) and older (ALC) populations. Finally, the research data is presented through a dictionary of three types of color terms categorized as multiword expressions.
