    <Paragraph position="0"> An effective and efficient approach to phrasal verb identification is presented. This approach handles both separable and inseparable phrasal verbs in English. An Expert Lexicon formalism is used to develop the entire phrasal verb lexicon and its associated pattern matching rules and macros. This formalism allows the phrasal verb lexicon to be called between two levels of parsing for the required morpho-syntactic interaction in phrasal verb identification.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Benchmarking using both the running text corpus and sampling corpus shows that the presented approach provides a satisfactory solution to this problem.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> In future research, we plan to extend the successful experiment on phrasal verbs to other types of multi-word expressions and idioms using the same expert lexicon formalism.</Paragraph>
