Recently, there has been great interest both in the development of cross-linguistically applicable annotation schemes and in the application of syntactic parsers at web scale to create parsebanks of online texts. The combination of these two trends to create massive, consistently annotated parsebanks in many languages holds enormous potential for the quantitative study of many linguistic phenom...

This paper presents a Chinese dependency syntax for treebanking. The syntax contains 13 word classes and 34 dependency types. A format of treebank based on the syntax is also proposed for the applications of computational and general linguistic research. Some experiments show that the treebank based on the proposed dependency syntax can be used for training and evaluating the dependency parser ...

Translating the Arabic Qur’anic cultural and lexical expression into English has always been a strenuous complicated task. It is ever more problematic than translation of any genre. The recent study caveat-lector endeavor especially to scrutinize challenges faced in translating some selected verses Surat Maryam their rendering losses. foremost significance this how three Quranic translators att...

Human evaluation of machine translation normally uses sentence-level measures such as relative ranking or adequacy scales. However, these provide no insight into possible errors, and do not scale well with sentence length. We argue for a semantics-based evaluation, which captures what meaning components are retained in the MT output, thus providing a more fine-grained analysis of translation qu...

The "Semantics of Business Vocabulary and Business Rules" (SBVR 1.0) is one of the initial specifications in the OMG's family of business-focused specifications. SBVR covers two aspects: Vocabulary (natural language ontology) and Rules (elements of guidance that govern actions). However, SBVR does not standardize any particular language for expressing vocabularies and rules. Instead, SBVR uses ...
