Abstract

In this paper a method and a flexible tool for performing monolingual term extraction is presented; based on the use of syntactic analysis where information on parts-of-speech; syntactic functions and surface syntax tags can be utilised. The standard approaches to evaluating term extraction; namely by manual evaluation of the top n term candidates or by comparing to a gold standard consisting of a list of terms from a specific domain can have its advantages; but in this paper we try to realise a proposal by Bernier-Colborne (2012) where extracted terms are compared to a gold standard consisting of a test corpus where terms have been annotated in context. Apart from applying this evaluation to different configuratio
