We sketch and illustrate an approach to machine translation that exploits the potential of simultaneous correspondences between separate levels of linguistic representation, as formalized in the LFG notion of codescriptions. The approach is illustrated with examples from English, German and French where the source and the target language sentence show noteworthy differences in linguistic analysis.

Some surface syntactic parallels are discussed and family internal differences in determiner systems are hypothesized to be the result of North Wakashan linguistic influence, possibly mediated by the spread of the secret society complexes in the historical period immediately pri...

For 10 years, the authors of this article have examined cognitive, affective, and linguistic influences on foreign language learning. They have proposed the Linguistic Coding Differences Hypothesis (LCDH) as a model for understanding foreign language learning problems. The authors review their empirical support for the LCDH and explain the diagnostic, pedagogical, and policy implications of the...

The reason for this situation is that there is no very large, generally available grammar of English based on current technology-unification grammar. The solution is to develop a very broad-coverage National Resource Grammar in a unification formalis...
