Linguistics and Machine Translation

چکیده
This talk discusses some o f the challenges posed for theoretical linguistics by transla tional problems. It briefly discusses different aspects o f the concept o f translational equivalence and the degree to which this relation may be captured by machine translation (MT) systems. It is argued that the formal requirements and multilingual perspective of MT provide new criteria o f adequacy for semantic theraies. This motivates further development of linguistic semantics as a prerequisite for a semanti cally based theory o f machine translation. In particular it seems that the semantics of translational equivalence needs to be able to refer to a typology o f linguistic objects as part of its “ontology”. Some of the points are illustrated by a short presentation o f an experimental MT project. Finally it is briefly indicated how the treatment of linguistic objects as part of the semantic model fits into a situation theoretic account

Computational Linguistics and Machine Translation Research and Development
It is not always easy to distinguish between research and development or demonstration system and product in the area of Machine Translation (MT) however, it is useful to distinguish between fully automatic machine translation, human-assisted machine translation and machine-assisted human translation all of which fall within the purview of MT. In this article the focus is exclusively on the fir...
