Currently, the area of translation studies lacks corpora by which translation scholars can validate their theoretical claims, for example, regarding the scope of the characteristics of the translation relation. In this paper, we describe a customized resource in the area of translation studies that mainly addresses research on the properties of the translation relation. Our experimental results...

This paper describes the design and implementation of an interface to corpora in 12 languages, stemming from the analysis of the needs of a diverse group of users: language teachers and language students, (non-computational) linguists, researchers in history and translation studies. We identified a set of requirements shared across the disciplines, as well as more specific requirements from the...

Abstract Translation is a process which needs concentration and a relaxed mind. Obsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a mental disorder which causes the patients to repeat something continuously so that it is done in the best way. As both translation and OCD are mental processes, this study has investigated the relation between these two mental processes. For this purpose, at first Oxford Plac...

In this work we will show the role of lexical resources in machine translation processes, giving several examples after a brief overview of Machine Translation studies. Then we will advocate the need for a richer lexicon in MT processes and sketch a methodology to obtain it through a mix of corpus-based and machine learning approaches.

Electronic versions of literary works abound on the Internet and the rapid dissemination of electronic readers will make electronic books more and more common. It is often the case that literary works exist in more than one language, suggesting that, if properly aligned, they could be turned into useful resources for many practical applications, such as writing and language learning aids, trans...

The exchange between Translation Studies (TS) and Machine Translation (MT) has been relatively rare. However, given recent developments in both fields like increased importance of post-editing and reintegration of linguistic and translational knowledge into hybrid systems, it seems desirable to intensify the exchange. This paper aims to contribute to bridging the gap between the two fields. I g...
