Providing a comparative framework for parsers is a task that has already been tried in the past, e.g.(Abeillé, 1991), (Atwell and Sutcliffe, 1997), (Black et al., 1991), and studied in the literature (Black, 1993), (Black, 1994), (Carroll et al., 1998), (Gaizauskas et al., 1998), (WEPS-98, ), (Mengel and Lezius, 2000), but mainly for English.In this paper, we present PEAS: a Protocol for Evaluating Analyzers of Syntax (in French: Protocole d'Evaluation pour les Analyseurs Syntaxiques), based on an ongoing experiment at LIMSI which aims at developing and testing a generic quantitative black-box evaluation protocol for parsers of French.Two fully operational parsers will be used to test the evaluation protocol; they are: the parser (Giguet and Vergne, 1997) developed at GREYC (Caen University) and the latest version of the parser developed at Rank Xerox Research Center in Grenoble (Ait-Mokhtar and Chanod, 1997)
