King Alfred: A Translation Environment for Learners of Anglo-Saxon English
نویسنده
چکیده
King Alfred is the name of both an innovative textbook and a computational environment deployed in parallel in an undergraduate course on Anglo-Saxon literature. This paper details the ways in which it brings dynamicallygenerated resources to the aid of the language student. We store the feature-rich grammar of Anglo-Saxon in a bi-level glossary, provide an annotation context for use during the translation task, and are currently working toward the implementation of automatic evaluation of student-generated translations.

متن کاملIs it necessary to assume an apartheid-like social structure in Early Anglo-Saxon England?
It has recently been argued that there was an apartheid-like social structure operating in Early Anglo-Saxon England.
