Stylometry in Computer-Assisted Translation: Experiments on the Babylonian Talmud
نویسندگان
چکیده
English. The purpose of this research is to experiment the application of stylometric techniques in the area of ComputerAssisted Translation to reduce the revision effort in the context of a collaborative, large scale translation project. The obtained results show a correlation between the editing extent and the compliance to some specific linguistic features, suggesting that supporting translators in writing translations following a desired style may actually reduce the number of following necessary interventions (and, consequently, save time) by revisors, editors and curators Italiano. Lo scopo di questa ricerca è la sperimentazione dell’applicazione di tecniche stilometriche nell’area della Traduzione Assistita dal Calcolatore per ridurre il lavoro di revisione nel contesto di un progetto di traduzione collaborativo di ampia scala. I risultati ottenuti mostrano una correlazione tra l’entità delle modifiche effettuate e la conformità ad alcune specifiche caratteristiche linguistiche, suggerendo che supportare i traduttori nel processo traduttivo seguendo uno stile desiderato possa effettivamente ridurre il numero di interventi necessari (e, quindi, risparmiare tempo) da parte di revisori, redattori e curatori.

متن کاملThe Talmud as a fat Rabbi: A novel approach
In this article it will be argued that the Menippean satire (broadly understood in Bakhtinian terms) provides a most, if not the most, significant formal and perhaps historical context for reading the Babylonian Talmud (ca. sixth century after Christ). Some theoretical considerations on the role of agency in dialogism (intertextuality) are lifted up as well.

Learning styles are considered among the significant factors that aid instructors in deciding how well their students learn a second or foreign language (Oxford, 2003). Although this issue has been accepted broadly in educational psychology,further research is required to examine the relationship between learning styles and language learning skills. Thus, the present study was carried out to in...

Second language writing instruction has been greatly influenced by the growing importance of technology and the recent shift of paradigm from a cognitive to a social orientation in second language acquisition (Lantolf & Thorne, 2006). Therefore, the applications of computer assisted language learning and activity theory have been suggested as a promising framework for writing studies. The prese...
