| Abstract | This paper presents the results of an experiment conducted using BootCaT, a toolkit to bootstrap specialized corpora and terms from the web. In order to evaluate the differences and similarities between automatically and manual constructed corpora, we compare the results of a terminological extraction from two corpora, the first retrieved by BootCaT and the second constructed by a professional terminologist. We conduct our research with three languages: English, Italian and German. We also try to find out if a specific target user, the conference interpreter, could profit from the terms extracted semi automatically with this tool. We conducted an evaluation using an ad-hoc taxonomy that considers the specific needs of interpreters as well as a reference term list compiled by hand by a professional terminologist. The results illustrates the potential usefulness of this tool and of the use of the web as a corpus. |
