1. Named entities, including multiword names (e.g., Out of Africa, The Taming of the Shrew), are treated as single lexemes and should receive a nominal/entity type, not a SNACS supersense.#

2. Grammaticalized multiword expressions like the hedges in #001 and the semi-auxiliaries in `i should not receive a SNACS supersense.#

• I’m kind_of/sort_of hungry. (non-SNACS) 001

3. Verb-particle combinations where the particle is not adding a compositional spatial meaning are treated as verbal multiword expressions and do not receive a SNACS supersense.#

• Compositional spatial meanings:

  • The leaves blew up. (= blew into the air) (Direction) 002

  • The fan blew the leaves up. (Direction) 003

• Idiomatic/non-spatial meanings:

  • I blew_up the balloon. (= inflated) (non-SNACS) 004

  • I blew_ the balloon _up. (= inflated) (non-SNACS) 005

  • The bomb blew_up. (= literally exploded) (non-SNACS) 006

  • My friend blew_up at_{Beneficiary↝Direction} me. (= exploded in anger) (non-SNACS) 007

4. Where a verb or other content word absolutely requires a transitive preposition to receive the correct meaning, as in #009,¹ it is treated as a content multiword expression and does not receive a SNACS supersense.#
