Extracting Loanwords from Mongolian Corpora and Producing a Japanese-Mongolian Bilingual Dictionary

چکیده
This paper proposes methods for extracting loanwords from Cyrillic Mongolian corpora and producing a Japanese–Mongolian bilingual dictionary. We extract loanwords from Mongolian corpora using our own handcrafted rules. To complement the rule-based extraction, we also extract words in Mongolian corpora that are phonetically similar to Japanese Katakana words as loanwords. In addition, we correspond the extracted loanwords to Japanese words and produce a bilingual dictionary. We propose a stemming method for Mongolian to extract loanwords correctly. We verify the effectiveness of our methods experimentally.

Segmentation and Translation of Japanese Multi-word Loanwords
The Japanese language has absorbed large numbers of loanwords from many languages, in particular English. As well as using single loanwords, compound nouns, multiword expressions (MWEs), etc. constructed from loanwords can be found in use in very large quantities. In this paper we describe a system which has been developed to segment Japanese loanword MWEs and construct likely English translati...
متن کاملAutomatic Construction of a Japanese-Chinese Dictionary via English
This paper proposes a method of constructing a dictionary for a pair of languages from bilingual dictionaries between each of the languages and a third language. Such a method would be useful for language pairs for which wide-coverage bilingual dictionaries are not available, but it suffers from spurious translations caused by the ambiguity of intermediary third-language words. To eliminate spu...
متن کاملImproving Calculation of Contextual Similarity for Constructing a Bilingual Dictionary via a Third Language
A novel method is proposed for measuring contextual similarity by “weighted overlapping ratio (WOR)” to construct a bilingual dictionary of a new language pair from two bilingual dictionaries sharing one language. The WOR alleviates the effect of a noisy seed dictionary resulting from merger of two bilingual dictionaries via a third language. Combined use of two word-association measures for ex...
متن کاملExtracting Bilingual Collocations from Non-Aligned Parallel Corpora
This paper proposes a new method to find correspondences of uninterrupted collocations from Japanese-English bilingual corpora without sentence-to-sentence alignment. Uninterrupted collocations in English such as “once again”, “give up”, or “gross national product” handled as a single word or a compound word in Japanese, can be automatically extracted with corresponding Japanese words using wor...
متن کاملExtracting Word Correspondences from Bilingual Corpora Based on Word Co-occurrence Information
A new method has been developed for extracting word correspondences from a bilingual corpus. First, the co-occurrence infi~rmation for each word in both languages is extracted li'om the corpus. Then, the correlations between the co-occurrence features of the words are calculated pairwisely with tile assistance of a basic word bilingual dictionary. Finally, the pairs of words with the highest co...
