Resumen

En este trabajo, presentamos a LegalEc, un nuevo corpus etiquetado con léxico complejo construido con textos de contenido legal en español ecuatoriano. Detallamos el proceso de compilación y anotación del mismo. Para proporcionar casos base a la comunidad científica, se han realizado varios experimentos de predicción de palabras complejas sobre este corpus. Extrajimos 23 características lingüísticas que combinamos con las codificaciones generadas por modelos como XLM-RoBERTa y RoBERTa-BNE (del proyecto MarIA). La evaluación muestra que la combinación de estas características mejora notablemente la predicción de la complejidad léxica.
