Practical Glossing by Prioritised Tining
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present the design of a practical context-sensitive glosser, incorporating current techniques for lightweight linguistic analysis based on large-scale lexical resources. We outline a general model for ranking the possible translations of the words and expressions that make up a text. This information can be used by a simple resource-bounded algorithm, of complexity O(n log n) in sentence length, that determines a consistent gloss of best translations. We then describe how the results of the general ranking model may be approximated using a simple heuristic prioritisation scheme. Finally we present a preliminary evaluation of the glosser’s performance.

The Sharp Intelligent Dictionary
This paper describes the Sharp Intelligent Dictionary (SID), an English-Japanese glossing system for Japanese readers and learners of English. SID uses a variety of lightweight analysis techniques, a large bilingual dictionary and a prioritised model of collocations to present informed guesses about the best translations of words and expressions in their context.

متن کاملThe Effect of Visual Representation, Textual Representation, and Glossing on Second Language Vocabulary Learning
In this study, the researcher chose three different vocabulary techniques (Visual Representation, Textual Enhancement, and Glossing) and compared them with traditional method of teaching vocabulary. 80 advanced EFL Learners were assigned as four intact groups (three experimental and one control group) through using a proficiency test and a vocabulary test as a pre-test. In the visual group, stu...
متن کاملThe Ubiquity of the Gloss
This paper argues that glossing is an essential stage in the borrowing of writing systems. I use the term “glossing” in a somewhat extended sense to refer to a process where a text in one language is prepared (annotated, marked) to be read in another. I argue that this process of “vernacular reading” – reading a text written in the script, orthography, lexicon and grammar of a more prestigious ...
