The paper offers an overview of the scholarly work and the current state of research on multiword expressions (MWEs) in Slovak linguistics. The first part of the paper focuses on the theoretical issues in defining basic properties of MWEs, classification of MWEs, differentiation of MWEs and free syntactic structures, collocations and collocability, the status of categorical words (i.e. light verbs). The second part deals with lexicographic treatment of MWEs in different types of dictionaries: general and specialized monolingual dictionaries, spelling and other formal dictionaries, and dictionaries of collocations.
