The teaching of foreign languages to students in Translation and Interpreting (TI) programmes should be framed within the field Language for Specific Purposes (LSP). This would make it possible pinpoint specific curricular content methodological traits that contribute enhancement communicative competence initial development TI competences. paper analyses students’ perspectives on L2 a programme...

In this paper, we investigate the multiple attribute decision making (MADM) problem based on the arithmetic and geometric aggregation operators with hesitant fuzzy linguistic information. Then, motivated by the idea of traditional arithmetic operation, we have developed some aggregation operators for aggregating hesitant fuzzy linguistic information: hesitant fuzzy linguistic weighted average (...

We describe our Arabic-to-English and Turkish-to-English machine translation systems that participated in the IWSLT 2009 evaluation campaign. Both systems are based on the Moses statistical machine translation toolkit, with added components to address the rich morphology of the source languages. Three different morphological approaches are investigated for Turkish. Our primary submission uses l...

the purpose of this study is to explain and explore dimensions and features of answer oriented and question oriented approaches and to examine the consequences of these two approaches for children's imaginative and creative behavior. for this purpose the descriptive - analytical method was used. in this regard, the relationships between the questioning, imagination and creativity were discussed...

This paper looks at the issues of transculturation as explored in auto and semi-autobiographical accounts of linguistic and cultural transitions. The paper also addresses a number of questions about the structure of these texts, the authors’ linguistic competences, as well as questions about the theoretical and conceptual tool which may help us to discuss the issues the writers are reflecting o...

Language acquisition research experienced a boom following the Chomskyian revolution. The focus of attention centred primarily on English child's syntax. In seventies, range problem areas in language began to diversify and alternative perspectives (non-nativist) how child acquires beganto emerge. It is argued that socio-cognitive approaches acquisition, though providing an important prerequisit...

The paper presents a novel approach for automatic translation lexicon extraction from a parallel sentence-aligned corpus. This is a five-step process, which includes cognate extraction, word alignment, phrase extraction, statistical phrase filtering, and linguistic phrase filtering. Unlike other approaches whose objective is to extract word or phrase pairs to be used in machine translation, we ...

This paper describes the new linguistic approaches of the MetaMorphoTM system, a linguistically enriched translation memory. Our aim was to develop an improved TM system that uses linguistic analysis in both source and destination languages to yield more exact matches to the source sentence. The MetaMorphoTM stores and retrieve subsentential segments and uses a linguistically based measure to d...
