Abstract
This paper presents an enhanced version of the Romanian corpus previously annotated only for verbal multiword expressions. The new release extends the annotation to multiword expressions of other parts of speech, following version 2.0 of the PARSEME guidelines. The corpus has been expanded, its new part was automatically morpho-syntactically annotated based on the Universal Dependencies framework, followed by extensive semi-automatic annotation of multiword expressions across all morphological categories. The paper also reports quantitative data on the updated corpus and discusses the distribution and characteristics of Romanian multiword expressions. We also highlight language-specific annotation challenges and issues arising from the PARSEME 2.0 guidelines.
