Abstract

This paper starts by giving a short overview of one existing NLP project for the medical sublanguage (1). After having presented our objectives (2), we will describe the Restriction Grammar formalism (3), the datastructure we use for parsing (4) and our parser (5) enhanced with a special control structure (6). An attempt to build a bootstrap dictionary of medical terminology in a semi-automatic way will also be discussed (7). A brief evaluation (8) and a short outline of our future research (9) will conclude this article.
