We are experimenting to examine how AnglaBharati system designed to translate English to Indian languages could be adapted for translation to Sanskrit. The main contribution of our work is demonstration of machine translation of English to Sanskrit for simple sentences based on PLIL generated by AnglaBharati and Ashtadhyayi rules.

We present a novel word reordering model for phrase-based statistical machine translation suited to cope with long-span word movements. In particular, reordering of nouns, verbs and adjectives is modeled by taking into account target-to-source word alignments and the distances between source as well as target words. The proposed model was applied as a set of additional feature functions to re-s...

It begins with the issues in the basic sentence constructions, followed by the discussions on elements of sentences. Lectures and discussions will continue to review the topics on word-classes (nouns and verbs), noun expansions (heads, dependents, and adjectives), linking words (pr...

This paper explores Pān. inian Grammar (PG) as an information processing device in terms of ‘how’, ‘how much’ and ‘where’ languages encode information. PG is based on a morphologically rich language, Sanskrit. We apply PG on English and see how the Pān. inian perspective would deal with it from the information theoretical point of view and its effectiveness in machine translation. We analyze En...

This paper investigates the morpho-syntactic features of bilingual discourse made in blog articles by Chinese students studying in English speaking countries. The identified grammatical patterns of adjective, nominal and verbal constituents with Chinese and English fused together are used to testify and evaluate the Matrix Language hypothesis, which remains the central tenet of Myers-Scotton’s ...

There is a rich literature about the temporal conjunctions before/after, but at the time I gave the talk that underlies this paper I was not aware of any analysis of the temporal comparatives früher/später ‘earlier/later’, which may be used to express similar states of affairs, but are constructed differently. Recently I got acquainted with the del Prete’s thesis about It. prima/dopo, which ana...
