Multi-dimensional Annotation and Alignment in an English-German Translation Corpus
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents the compilation of the CroCo Corpus, an English-German translation corpus. Corpus design, annotation and alignment are described in detail. In order to guarantee the searchability and exchangeability of the corpus, XML stand-off mark-up is used as representation format for the multi-layer annotation. On this basis it is shown how the corpus can be queried using XQuery. Furthermore, the generalisation of results in terms of linguistic and translational research questions is briefly discussed.

متن کاملThe SAWA Corpus: A Parallel Corpus English - Swahili
Research in data-driven methods for Machine Translation has greatly benefited from the increasing availability of parallel corpora. Processing the same text in two different languages yields useful information on how words and phrases are translated from a source language into a target language. To investigate this, a parallel corpus is typically aligned by linking linguistic tokens in the sour...
