Considering the goal of bilingual teaching of professional courses, how to carry out bilingual classroom instruction of professional courses was investigated in detail. The bilingual teaching of professional courses is different from the ordinary teaching of professional courses and the teaching of foreign language. Based on the bilingual teaching practice for several years, several classroom i...

Despite a population of close to 40 million Hispanics/Latinos in the USA who have at least some level of Spanish/English bilingualism, there are few neuropsychological tests and norms available for this group, especially when assessing Spanish/English bilingual children. The purpose of the present research was to provide preliminary normative data for a bilingual population on a comprehensive n...

A method is presented for automatically augmenting the bilingual lexicon of an existing Machine Translation system, by extracting bilingual entries from aligned bilingual text. The proposed method only relies on the resources already available in the MT system itself. It is based on the use of bilingual lexical templates to match the terminal symbols in the parses of the aligned sentences. 1 I ...

The major aim of this article is to outline the requirements for an "ideal" bilingual L1 →L2 dictionary of the general vocabulary specifically designed for the purposes of professional translation. The article challenges three commonly accepted beliefs: (a) a bilingual dictionary equals a translation dictionary; (b) a bilingual dictionary is a source of immediately insertable lexical equivalent...

This paper presents a learning method using adjacent information as the method to extract bilingual word pairs efficiently from parallel corpora with various languages for which language resources are insufficient. In our method, information about correspondence between source language words and target language words is acquired automatically using the word strings that adjoin bilingual word pa...

OBJECTIVES We present in this article experiments on multi-language information extraction and access in the medical domain. For such applications, multilingual terminology plays a crucial role when working on specialized languages and specific domains. MATERIAL AND METHODS We propose firstly a method for enriching multilingual thesauri which extracts new terms from parallel corpora, and seco...

We defend that bilingual lexicons automatically extracted from parallel corpora, whose entries have been meanwhile validated by linguists and classified as correct or incorrect, should constitute a specific parallel corpora. And, in this paper, we propose to use word-to-word translations to learn morph-units (comprising of bilingual stems and suffixes) from those bilingual lexicons for two lang...

Objective: To investigate (1) the prevalence of language deficits and disorders and (2) the relationship of bilingual language skills and psychopathology, in Spanish-English bilingual children referred for child and adolescent psychiatry services. Method: Bilingual language skills, emotional/behavioral problems, sociodemographics, immigration variables, and nonverbal IQ were studied in 50 conse...

This paper describes the development of French–English and English–French machine translation systems for the 2010 WMT shared task evaluation. These systems were standard phrase-based statistical systems based on the Moses decoder, trained on the provided data only. Most of our efforts were devoted to the choice and extraction of bilingual data used for training. We filtered out some bilingual ...
