Syntactic Generation of Arabic in Interlingua-based Machine Translation Framework
نویسندگان
چکیده
Arabic is a highly inflectional language, with a rich morphology, relatively free word order, and two types of sentences: nominal and verbal. Arabic natural language processing in general is still underdeveloped and Arabic natural language generation (NLG) is even less developed. In particular, Arabic natural language generation from Interlingua was only investigated using template-based approaches. Moreover, tools used for other languages are not easily adaptable to Arabic due to the Arabic language complexity at both the morphological and syntactic levels. In this paper, we report our attempt at developing a rule-based Arabic generator for task-oriented interlingua-based spoken dialogues. Examples of syntactic generation results from the Arabic generator will be given and will illustrate how the system works. Our proposed syntactic generator has been effectively evaluated using real test data and achieved satisfactory results.

In 1629, Descartes proposed a “language of true philosophy” to serve as an interlingua for translating between languages. Over 300 years later, “semantic interlingua” appears on the top of the Vauquois triangle, as the deepest possible analysis guaranteeing the best possible translation. But the main stream of machine translation has considered the interlingua unrealistic and worked on lower le...
متن کاملTopicalization in English Translation of the Holy Quran: A Comparative Study
The Holy Quran, as an Arabic masterpiece, comprises great domains of syntactical, phonological, and semantic literary patterns. These patterns work as the shackle of translators. This study examined the application of the most common shift strategies in Catford‟s linguistic model for translation of topicalization in chapter 29 of the Holy Quran. The topicalized cases were compared to their coun...
متن کاملA Mono-lingual Corpus-Based Machine Translation of the Interlingua Method
This paper describes a prototype of an example-based machine translation system. In this system, key language resources are EDR corpus and concept classification dictionary. The corpus consists of a pair of sentences, their morphological representations, their syntactic representations, and their semantic representations. The semantic representations are described by an interlingua. Therefore t...

This paper describes the integration of a Turkish generation system with the KANT knowledge-based machine translation system to produce a prototype English–Turkish interlingua-based machine translation system. These two independently constructed systems were successfully integrated within a period of two months, through development of a module which maps KANT interlingua expressions to Turkish ...
