Abstract. Technical terms (henceforth called terms), are important elements for digital libraries. In this paper we present a domain-independent method for the automatic extraction of multi-word terms, from machine-readable special language corpora. The method, (C-value/NC-value), combines linguistic and statistical information. The first part, C-value, enhances the common statistical measure of frequency of occurrence for term extraction, making it sensitive to a particular type of multi-word terms, the nested terms. The second part, NC-value, gives: 1) a method for the extraction of term context words (words that tend to appear with terms); 2) the incorporation of information from term context words to the extraction of terms.
C/NC-value REF , another statistical method is well known in the literature and combines statistical and linguistic information for the extraction of multi-word and nested terms.
