Abstract

This paper studies the impact of multiword expressions on Word Sense Disambiguation (WSD). Several identification strategies of the multiwords in WordNet2.0 are tested in a real Senseval-3 task: the disambiguation of WordNet glosses. Although we have focused on Word Sense Disambiguation, the same techniques could be applied in more complex tasks, such as Information Retrieval or Question Answering.
