(Post)classical and medieval Greek multi-word expressions: Data, methodology, and analysis
Phrases such as pay attention, in spite of, and United Kingdom are multi-word expressions. The signifier is complex but the signified is not, i.e. pay attention is a verb phrase, in spite of a preposition, and United Kingdom a noun phrase. The Ancient Greek working group annotates these in classical literary Attic oratory, historiography, and philosophical prose using the PARSEME 1.3

The large bulk of research in syntax and sentential semantics focuses on assertive declarative clauses, information seeking interrogative clauses, and, to a much lesser extent, imperatives. A key concept for the understanding of word order variation and prosodic prominence was introduced by Roberts (2012) and Ginzburg (1996) in form of the Question Under Discussion (QUD). As has been shown on various occasions, different word order permutations and stress patterns express different focus placeme

Wordplay typically appears to be funny and innocent, and previous research on wordplay and verbal humour has often foregrounded this aspect, which can be seen as being prototypical of wordplay. Among others, there has been a focus on laughter and amusement as key effects of wordplay (cf. Winter-Froemel 2009; 2016), or on functions of bonding and the strengthening of group identities (see also traditional concepts such as French connivence). However, wordplay can also be used
