متن کاملWord Order Typology through Multilingual Word Alignment
With massively parallel corpora of hundreds or thousands of translations of the same text, it is possible to automatically perform typological studies of language structure using very large language samples. We investigate the domain of word order using multilingual word alignment and high-precision annotation transfer in a corpus with 1144 translations in 986 languages of the New Testament. Re...
متن کاملWord order type and alignment type*

Her findings pertain to the relationship between word order type and the domina...
متن کاملWord Alignment Annotation in a Japanese-Chinese Parallel Corpus
Parallel corpora are critical resources for machine translation research and development since parallel corpora contain translation equivalences of various granularities. Manual annotation of word alignment is of significance to provide gold-standard for developing and evaluating both example-based machine translation model and statistical machine translation model. This paper presents the work...
