"abstract": "A multiword is compositional if its meaning can be expressed in terms of the meaning of its constituents. In this paper, we collect and analyse the compositionality judgments for a range of compound nouns using Mechanical Turk. Unlike existing compositionality datasets, our dataset has judgments on the contribution of constituent words as well as judgments for the phrase as a whole. We use this dataset to study the relation between the judgments at constituent level to that for the whole phrase. We then evaluate two different types of distributional models for compositionality detection-constituent based models and composition function based models. Both the models show competitive performance though the composition function based models perform slightly better. In both types, additive models perform better than their multiplicative counterparts.",

For practical NLP purposes, Bannard et al. (2003) adopt a straightforward definition of a compound being compositional if \"the overall semantics of the multi-word expression (here compound) can be composed from the simplex semantics of its parts, as described (explicitly or implicitly) in a finite lexicon\". We adopt this definition and pose compositionality as a literality issue. A compound is compositional if its meaning can be understood from the literal (simplex) meaning of its parts. Similar views of compositionality as literality are found in (Lin, 1999; Katz and Giesbrecht, 2006) . In the past there have been arguments in favor/disfavor of compositionality as literality approach (e.g. see (Gibbs, 1989; Titone and Connine, 1999) ). The idea of viewing compositionality as literality is also motivated from the shared task organized by Biemann and Giesbrecht (2011) . From here on, we use the terms compositionality and literality interchangeably.",

Once all the annotations (90 phrases * 3 tasks/phrase * 30 annotations/task = 8100 annotations) are completed, we calculated the average Spearman correlation score (\u03c1) of every annotator by correlating their annotation values with every other annotator and taking the average.

This property does not hold always because institutionalized MWEs (Sag et al., 2002) are known to have high association even though they are compositional, especially in the case of compound nouns. Another property of non-compositional MWEs is that they show syntactic rigidness which do not allow internal modifiers or morphological variations of the components, or variations that break typical selectional preferences. Methods like (Cook et al., 2007; Mc-Carthy et al., 2007; Fazly et al., 2009 ) exploit this property.
