Parsing Modern Greek verb MWEs with LFG/XLE grammars

We report on the first, still on-going effort to integrate verb MWEs in an LFG grammar of Modern Greek (MG). Text is lemmatized and tagged with the ILSP FBT Tagger and is fed to a MWE filter that marks Words_With_Spaces in MWEs. The output is then formatted to feed an LFG/XLE grammar that has been developed independently.
