AI as a resource for the clarification of medical terminology: An analysis of its advantages and limitations
Medical terminology is perceived as an obstacle for patients and family members to understand the medical message. In this context, plain language advocates for making specialised knowledge accessible to citizens. This article puts the synergy between medical terminology, plain language, and computational linguistics (a branch of Artificial Intelligence) on the table. Our purpose is to determine if Generative AI applications, like ChatGPT, can as…

A corpus-based analysis of textual genres in the administration domain
Laymen occasionally have to write texts in specialized domains, such as when interacting with the public administration. However, in Spanish, most studies related to administrative texts have focused on texts written by the administration for laymen rather than texts that average citizens write to the administration. Against this backdrop, this article aims to carry out the following: (a) a linguistic analysis on a corpus of Spanish-language text…
Comparing rhetorical structures in different languages: The influence of translation strategies
The study we report in this article addresses the results of comparing the rhetorical trees from two different languages carried out by two annotators starting from the Rhetorical Structure Theory (RST). Furthermore, we investigate the methodology for a suitable evaluation, both quantitative and qualitative, of these trees. Our corpus contains abstracts of medical research articles written both in Spanish and Basque, and extracted from Gaceta Méd…
Summarization of specialized discourse: The case of medical articles in Spanish
In this article, we present the current state of our work on a linguistically-motivated model for automatic summarization of medical articles in Spanish. The model takes into account the results of an empirical study which reveals that, on the one hand, domain-specific summarization criteria can often be derived from the summaries of domain specialists, and, on the other hand, adequate summarization strategies must be multidimensional, i.e., cove…
