Defining the Lexical Component in Interlinguas
نویسندگان
چکیده
As discussed by Dorr and Voss (1993, 1994), machine translation (MT) theory has not addressed the issues urrounding how the interlingua (IL) of a MT system should be defined or evaluated. This has a direct bearing on the decisions developers make with respect o the construction f a lexicon for MT. We view the IL as two distinct components: the declarative portion, which we call the "Lexical Component;" and the procedural portion, which we call the "Pivot-Form Component." The former component is a collection fentries from each natural anguage lexicon of the MT system. The latter component is the set of algorithms u ed to compose and decompose the full IL pivot form. 2

An interlingua is a notation for representing the content of a text that abstracts away from the characteristics of the language itself and focuses on the meaning (semantics) alone. Interlinguas are typically used as pivot representations in machine translation, allowing the contents of a source text to be generated in many different target languages. Due to the complexities involved, few inter...
