The aim of this paper is to present PARSEME, a COST Action devoted to the issue of Multiword Expressions in parsing and in linguistic resources (corpora, lexicons). This is a “meta-paper” intended to be the main citation point for any future work referring to PARSEME: it does not describe in detail any single result of the Action, but rather summarises its multifarious activities and provides links to such results (both completed and in progress).
