Abstract Li Wenyu and Ma Xiangbo were two influential Catholic intellectuals in modern China who each undertook a translation of the Bible into Chinese. This article surveys their participation contemporary ideological debates investigates thoughts on inculturation Catholicism, including ‘evangelisation by writing’ ‘scholastic mission’, as well beliefs practices regarding translation. An in-dep...

although investigating the factors that influence test scores is important, a majority of stakeholders show a paucity of attention towards individual learner differences due to having large classes of l2 learners. this study sought to explore the possible effect of working memory and cognitive style on l2 learners’ metaphorical test performance. the study was conducted in 2 phases. the first ph...

We show that the Gentzen-style classical logic LKT, as presented in Danos et al.(1993), can be considered as the classical call-by-name (CBN) calculus. First, we present a new term calculus for LKT which faithfully simulates cut-elimination procedure, namely tq-protocol. Then, we give a translation of Parigot's -calculus. This translation can be seen as the classical extension to the Plotkin's ...

Current phrase-based statistical machine translation systems process each test sentence in isolation and do not enforce global consistency constraints, even though the test data is often internally consistent with respect to topic or style. We propose a new consistency model for machine translation in the form of a graph-based semi-supervised learning algorithm that exploits similarities betwee...

Lexical selection is of great importance to statistical machine translation. In this paper, we propose a graph-based framework for collective lexical selection. The framework is established on a translation graph that captures not only local associations between source-side content words and their target translations but also targetside global dependencies in terms of relatedness among target i...

This paper introduces two novel approaches for extracting compact grammars for hierarchical phrase-based translation. The first is a combinatorial optimization approach and the second is a Bayesian model over Hiero grammars using Variational Bayes for inference. In contrast to the conventional Hiero (Chiang, 2007) rule extraction algorithm , our methods extract compact models reducing model siz...

The article presents an analysis of Antioch Cantemir’s Russian translation the historical work Marcus Junianus Justinus, written in Latin. In first part article, we establish sources that became basis translation. We conclude for Cantemir were Latin edition 1719 and French translated by Louis Ferrier de La Martinière. Then style is analyzed. To determine peculiarity text, compare it with Nikita...

Despite of the existence of high quality unit selection speech synthesizers, they are based on a reading style approach. However, new applications such as Speech-to-Speech Translation or Speech User Interfaces demand a talking style which is more natural in these contexts. Disfluencies are a major characteristic of talking style so that it is convenient to be able to generate disfluent speech. ...

Translating programs into continuation-passing style is a well-studied tool to explicitly deal with the control structure of programs. This useful, for example, compilation. In typed setting, there also logical interpretation such translation as an embedding classical logic intuitionistic logic. A naturally arising question whether inverse back direct style. The answer this depends on how defin...

Weeks presents here his findings on the differing forms treaties and covenants can take throughout ancient Near Eastern governments and cultures and what those forms can reveal about the people employing them. He presents his work in a terse manner, which allows him to be comprehensive in his evaluation of the evidence within the confines of such a diminutive book. Along with this terseness Wee...
