The framework is machine-translation. Compiler-building can for'a variety of reasons be considered as a special case of machine-translation. It is the purpose of this paper to explicate some techniques used in compiler-building, and to relate these to linguistic theory and to the practice of machine-translation. " The generally observed machine-translation procedure could be schernatized as in ...

1. Introduction The dominant strategy currently employed in machine translation (MT) is transfer: 1 Under this strategy, the MT system derives an abstract representation of the source language text; this representation is then transferred into a corresponding abstract representation formed in terms of the target language, which is subsequently realised in the target language proper. At each sta...

This paper presents a weak defense of rationalist approaches to Machine Translation (MT) based on the following line of reasoning. There is, independent of non-linguistic context, a one to many relationship between a source language text and the possible high quality target language translations of the text. This is due to the fact that there is a one to many relationship between a source langu...

While it is has often been observed that the product of translation is somehow different than non-translated text, scholars have emphasized two distinct bases for such differences. Some have noted interference from the source language spilling over into translation in a source-language-specific way, while others have noted general effects of the process of translation that are independent of so...

Triple graph grammars (TGGs) provide a formal framework for bidirectional model transformations. As in practice, TGGs are primarily used in pure model-to-model transformation scenarios, tools for text-to-model and model-to-text transformations make them also applicable in text-to-text transformation contexts. This paper presents a solution for the text-to-text transformation case study of the T...
