Abstract

This paper presents a possible architecture for a multilingual database of idioms.We discuss the challenges that idioms present to the creation of such a database and propose a possible encoding that maximises the amount of information that can be stored for different languages.Such a resource provides important information for linguistic, computational linguistic and psycholinguistic use, and allows for the comparison of different phenomena in different languages.This can provide the basis for a better understanding of regularities in idioms across languages.
