In this paper we describe the evaluation of a language-dependent aligner.We begin by introducing the alignment program, explaining why it would be interesting to evaluate it with particular emphasis on the language pair English-Portuguese.A short presentation of the corpus used to test the aligner is also given.We then describe three experiments that were performed in the evaluation process, presenting the results and di.scussing the methodology.The paper ends with a discussion of more general conclusions relative to an evaluation of this kind.
