Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A novel technique for automatic thesaurus construction is proposed. It is based on the complementary use of two tools: (1) a Term Extraction tool that acquires term candidates from tagged corpora through a shallow grammar of noun phrases, and (2) a Term Clustering tool that groups syntactic variants (insertions). Experiments performed on corpora in three technical domains yield clusters of term candidates with precision rates between 93% and 98%.</Paragraph>
