Multiword expressions (MWEs) have been a major challenge in NLP for decades and research on MWEs was driven notably by shared tasks, including those organized by the PARSEME community. We report the organisation and the results of edition 2.0 of the PARSEME shared task. For the first time, all syntactic categories are covered: verbal, nominal, adjectival, adverbial and functional. We rely on edition 2.0 of the PARSEME corpus, annotated for all these categories in 17 languages. We create a new dataset with paraphrases of sentences containing idioms in 14 languages, and defining a new subtask dedicated to MWE paraphrasing. We extend our evaluation protocol by measuring both performance and diversity of systems, and including manual evaluation in paraphrasing. 10 systems, including the baseline, participated in the MWE identification subtask and 5 in the paraphrasing subtask. Results are promising, but known MWE identification challenges remain unsolved. Performance correlates positively with diversity in MWE identification, and negatively in MWE paraphrasing.

Le démonstrateur que nous décrivons ici est un prototype de système de dialogue dont l’objectif est de simuler un patient. Nous décrivons son fonctionnement général en insistant sur les aspects concernant la langue et surtout le rapport entre langue médicale de spécialité et langue générale.
