Abstract
Abstract
This article reports on an open-source R package for the extraction of syntactic units from dependency-parsed
French texts. To evaluate the reliability of the package, syntactic units were extracted from a corpus of L2 French and were
compared to units extracted manually from the same corpus. The f-score of the extracted units ranged from 0.53–0.97. Although
units were not always identical between the two methods, manual and automatically-derived syntactic complexity measures were
strongly and significantly correlated (ρ = 0.62–0.97, p < 0.001), suggesting that this
package may be a suitable replacement for manual annotation in some cases where manual annotation is not possible but that care
should be used in interpreting the measures based on these units.
