	abstract     = {This chapter introduces part of the Swedish L2 profiles, a new resource for Swedish as a second language. Multiword expressions (MWEs) in this resource are based on knowledge-based automatic annotation of MWEs, which we show works quite well for Swedish. In contrast, manual annotation of the compositionality of each MWE proved difficult, probably due to different interpretations of "compositionality" by the two annotators. We show that experts and non-experts can rank MWEs very similarly according to relative receptive difficulty, with particularly high agreement for the easiest items. A qualitative comparison of the proficiency levels associated with the MWEs based on coursebook occurrences and the results from crowdsourcing and direct ranking indicate that MWEs which appear in few books of the same level are more likely to be difficult to associate with an appropriate level based on coursebook corpus data. Furthermore, results show that compositionality and/or transparency might influence the relative ranking. Finally, there is a clear increase in MWE lemmas at higher proficiency levels at the group level, and at the highest level receptive and productive data include the same percentage of MWEs.},
