“…Villada Moirón and Tiedemann exploit this by calculating the number of different translations of a phrases based on alignments, and classifying phrases with a large variance in translations as possibly idiomatic. Similar approaches have been taken by Cap (2017), who applies this method to noun-noun compounds in German and English, and Tsvetkov and Wintner (2010), who do this for Hebrew, but mostly rely on incorrect and complex (not 1:1) alignments to detect non-compositionality.…”

It's been 4½ years since I started this PhD-trajectory, not knowing what I was getting myself into. I still don't know, but I do know it's finished! So, it is time to say thanks to those people who got me to the end.First and foremost, I'm grateful to my supervisors, Johan and Malvina. Johan, thanks for giving me the opportunity to be part of a very cool research project, but also to find my own research interests. Malvina, thanks for your optimism and always coming up with new ideas and side-projects. Thanks to the both of you for your kind-but-honest criticism, for being patient with me during these 4½ years, and, on the less scientific side, for the garden parties and table football games! Further thanks go out to the members of my reading committee: Petra Hendriks, Laura Kallmeyer, and Caroline Sporleder, for finding the time to read this whole book (and approving it, of course!).Work is just work, but what makes it enjoyable is good company. Luckily, the Alfa-Informatica department (a.k.a. Informatiekunde, Computational Linguistics, Information Science -it's complicated) is full of good company. I really enjoyed commiserating, drinking and pub quizzing with my fellow PhDs, post-docs, interns, and other assorted office mates:
