A two-level grammar of the reduction processes of French complex terms in discourse
Author(s): Tanja Colletpp.: 1–27 (27)More LessThe aim of this paper is to offer an outline of a descriptive grammar — as yet unfinished — of two reduction processes, namely elliptic anaphor and lexical elision, which delete constituents of reiterated complex terms in French LSP texts. After an examination of these reduction processes and the term variants they generate, the paper presents the main building blocks of the grammar. The architecture of these building blocks, i.e. of the deep and surface structure rules which constitute the two levels of the grammar, is derived from the structural and semantic properties of French complex terms. The ordering of the rules in the grammar, on the other hand, is based on characteristics of elliptic anaphor and lexical elision as well as on properties of the term variants produced by these context-conditioned transformations.

Methodology for the design of a standard research protocol for measuring terminology usage
Author(s): Jean Quirionpp.: 29–49 (21)More LessMany states have undertaken language and terminology planning programmes and have reached the point where they must evaluate the progress realized up to the present time. In the case of terminology planning programmes, such an evaluation requires a method to measure the degree to which the terminology has been implanted. In this paper, a research protocol for measuring terminology implantation is presented; this protocol is based on institutional communications. First, a critical examination of prior research on the subject is made in order to identify the desired characteristics of a precise, scientific measurement protocol. It is an accepted postulate that the constitution of a representative corpus forms the basis of a solution. Statistical sampling methods have been adapted in order to design a measurement protocol that respects the above conditions. The paper concludes with an overview of the results of a terminology implantation survey carried out using the research protocol presented; the survey concerns transportation terminology. This overview is followed by a brief discussion of the future possibilities offered by the scientific measurement of terminology implantation.

Terminology extraction for global content management
Author(s): Arendse Bernth, Michael McCord and Kara Warburtonpp.: 51–69 (19)More LessThe role of terminology in content management has often been underrated. Term extraction has been identified by the information industry as an area requiring focus. Term extraction benefits both the content authoring and the translation process. Supplying key product terms to translation services several weeks before the actual translation begins reduces translation time, improves translation quality, and saves effort (and thus money) by reducing duplication of work. Getting the key terms ready in a timely manner can be difficult without some automation. This paper describes the process of proposing, designing, developing, and deploying a terminology extraction tool. The tool extracts nouns and noun groups, excludes non-translatable terms and known product terms, and displays a context for each extracted item. This is done based on full parsing of the text with a broad-coverage parser. The tool is made available to users on a Web server.

Lexical functions to represent derivational relations in specialized dictionaries
Author(s): Anne-Laure Jousse and Myriam Bouveretpp.: 71–98 (28)More LessWe present in this paper a model of derivation encoded by means of Lexical Functions (Mel’č uk et al. 1984–1999, Mel’čuk et al. 1995, Wanner 1996). It is based on semantic derivation as in the Explanatory and Combinatorial Lexicology, but we examine the category of morphological derivatives in order to organize sets of derivatives around a key term. Lexical functions express linguistic relations between words and allow a rigorous encoding. We use Standard Lexical functions and also discuss the usefulness of non-standard Lexical Function such as {avant}, {à distance}, {réciprocité} for the specific needs of some derivatives found in the corpus. We describe the structuration of such a terminology for the purpose of a specialized dictionary.
