Do not create UW's for concepts that are provisional and can be easily reduced to other existing UW's, such as "women who wear big hats in theaters", which, although possibly relevant, does not correspond to a '''lexical unit''' in any existing language, since it does not describe a single concept, but several different concepts ("woman", "to wear", "big", "hat", "theater") bound together. Multiword expressions are included in the UNL Dictionary only when they are non-compositional.
