Previous studies have mostly focused on the idiom type identification (Lin, 1999;Krenn and Evert, 2001;Baldwin et al., 2003;Shudo et al., 2004;Fazly and Stevenson, 2006).
there has been a growing interest in idiom token identification in recent times (Katz and Giesbrecht, 2006;Hashimoto et al., 2006b;Hashimoto et al., 2006a;Birke and Sarkar, 2006;Cook et al., 2007).
