Multilingual language models such as mBERT have seen impressive cross-lingual transfer
to a variety of languages, but many languages remain excluded from these models. In this …

One of the basic ideas underlying linguistic modelling is compositionality (Baggio et al. 2012),
seen as a property of language items (Janssen 2001; Partee et al. 1990) or of linguistic …
