  abstract = {The Practical Lexical Function (PLF) model is a model of computational distri- butional semantics that attempts to strike a balance between expressivity and learn- ability in predicting phrase meaning and shows competitive results. We investigate how well the PLF carries over to free word order languages, given that it builds on ob- servations of predicate-argument combina- tions that are harder to recover in free word order languages. We evaluate variants of the PLF for Croatian, using a new lexical substitution dataset. We find that the PLF works about as well for Croatian as for En- glish, but demonstrate that its strength lies in modeling verbs, and that the free word order affects the less robust PLF variant.},
