Proposal for a Foreign Language Drafting Aid
نویسندگان
چکیده
We examine a range of existing authoring aids (understood in the widest sense), from full-scale NLG to a new type of interactive MT. All of these depend on an independently available meaning representation, either a language-neutral formal model or a parallel text in another language. When no such meaning representation is available, however, current authoring aids can offer little more than word completion, as in augmentative communication systems or SMS. We consider the particular situation of a domain specialist who is called upon to draft a text in a second or a foreign language, and propose ways in which a new authoring tool might be able to assist him/her by suggesting multi-word completions, which should be more beneficial.
