The argument-adjunct distinction is central to most syntactic and semantic theories. As optional elements that refine (the meaning of) a phrase, adjuncts are important for recursive, compositional accounts of syntax, semantics and translation. In formal accounts of machine translation, adjuncts are often treated as modifiers applying synchronously in source and target derivations. But how well ...

The Bible, which contains the Old Testament and the New Testament, is called the cornerstone of western culture. The Psalms is a book included in the Old Testament and occupies an important position in the Bible. The importance of the Bible also prompts the development of numerous translation theories. Among many scholars who devote themselves to Bible translation survey, an American linguist, ...

This article seeks to investigate the changing perception of the term “translation” in feminist TS thanks to a continuous dialogue with other fields such as, feminist literary criticism, post-structuralism, postcolonial studies and cultural studies that have borrowed and utilised the notion of translation. “Translation” has become a “travelling concept” for feminist scholars who have utilized i...

this study investigated criteria and themes required for constructing an objective and communicative psycho-motor mechanism scale based on the theory of translation proposed by pacte. qualitative para- digm was employed in relation to the translation tasks and the number of participants (no.11). feedback through semi-structured interview was obtained to find the descriptors in designing the psy...

Global e-retailing continues to soar in popularity, but scant attention is being paid to the role of translation. This paper proposes a study investigating whether improving translated information quality of product descriptions increases the customers’ information satisfaction, while reducing the perceived product risk, which in turn improves their intention to use an online shopping website. ...

Abstract: We use the Ward identities corresponding to general linear transformations, and derive relations between transport coefficients of (2 + 1)-dimensional systems. Our analysis includes relativistic and Galilean invariant systems, as well as systems without boost invariance such as Lifshitz theories. We consider translation invariant, as well as broken translation invariant cases, and inc...

Early work on natural language database query processing focused on theories of compositional semantics. Recent work concentrates on the translation of NL queries to SQL where semantics is primarily used in an ad hoc manner to guide syntactic translation. Here, we argue that there remains a need for an efficiently-implementable denotational semantics for NL DB queries, and show how this can be ...

We present a new declarative compilation of logic programs with constraints into variable-free relational theories which are then executed by rewriting. This translation provides an algebraic formulation of the abstract syntax of logic programs. Management of logic variables, unification, and renaming apart is completely elided in favor of algebraic manipulation of variable-free relation expres...
