"The motivating idea behind this work is to explore and compare approaches to MWE, involving various tools as well as human resources. ... Much information is given to enable other researchers to investigate MWEs. The book contains a vast amount of information. ... An extensive bibliography follows each chapter. There are helpful appendices, including a list of standard part of speech tags." (Alice Davison, Computing Reviews, September, 2015)
