4. Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Separable verbs in German and Dutch constitute a problem in NLP because they are lexemes whose recognition is not simply a matter of dictionary lookup. Therefore, a reusable lexical database such as Celex does not offer a comprehensive solution to the problem. On the other hand, treating them as a problem of syntactic recognition, as implemented in, for instance, Rosetta, fails to account for the lexeme character of separable verbs. As a consequence, spurious ambiguities and redundancies are created.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Ambiguities arise between a simple verb such as hSren ('hear') and the same form functioning as part of a separable verb such as auflzOren. Redundancies emerge between the two different entries for aufhOren, one for the continuous and one for the discontinuous occurrences.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> In Word Manager, the recognition of separable verbs is entirely within the reusable lexical domain. A client application can start from an input which resembles (2) rather than (lb-c). An indication of the type of input is given in (5) and (6). For (lb), (5a) and (5b) are offered as alternatives. For (lc), (6) is offered as the only analysis (modulo syncretism of versucht).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3">  The task of the client application in the recognition of separable verbs in (1) is reduced to the choice of (5a) rather than (5b).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="4"> Finally, two points deserve to be emphasized. First, the entire WM-formalism for separable verbs has been implemented as described here. The rules for German have been formulated and a large dictionary for German (100'000 entries) including separable verbs is available. Moreover, the only provision in the WM-formalism specifically geared towards the treatment of separable verbs is the keyword separable in WFRules (cf. Fig. 2) and the corresponding class name %separable. Otherwise the entire formalism used for separable verbs is available as a consequence of general requirements of morphology and multi-word units.</Paragraph>
