Abstract
In this paper we present an alternative version of the morphosyntactically annotated Serbian translation of 1984. This version follows the basic principles of the MULTEXT-East version, except for one addition—the text will be annotated with multi-word units as well. We will present the resources used for annotation with multi-word units and explain how these resources were enriched with multi-word units extracted from the processed text. Finally, we will present the format of this alternative version and the benefits obtained both from preparing the new resource and from the resource itself.
