this study is carried out to shed light on one of the lexical problems affecting the performance of translators while attempting to translate from an original text into a target language (in present study, from french to persian). polysemy is one of the well identified semantic problems. the words possess different meanings and significations according to the situation and the context in which ...

This paper aims at investigating the acquisition of Italian complex predicates by native speakers of Persian. Complex predication is not as pervasive a phenomenon in Italian as it is in Persian. Yet Italian native speakers use complex predicates productively; spontaneous data show that Persian learners of Italian seem to be perfectly aware of Italian complex predicates and use this familiar fea...

Speech synthesis or text-to-speech (TTS) systems are currently available for a number of the world’s major languages, but for thousands of the world’s ‘minor’ languages no such technology is available. While awaiting the development of such technology, we would like to try the stop-gap solution of using an existing TTS system for a major language (the base language) to ‘fake’ TTS for a minor la...

Of late it has become very common for research compilers to emit C as their target code, relying on a C compiler to generate machine code. In eeect, C is being used as a portable compiler target language. It ooers a simple and eeective way of avoiding the need to re-implement eeective register allocation, instruction selection, and instruction scheduling, and so on, all for a variety of target ...

We implement a variant of the algorithm described by Yarowsky and Ngai in [21] to induce an HMM POS tagger for an arbitrary target language using only an existing POS tagger for a source language and an unannotated parallel corpus between the source and target languages. We extend this work by projecting from multiple source languages onto a single target language. We hypothesize that systemati...

Literature and Language Learning in the EFL Classroomconsists of nineteenchapters. The chapters of the book have been arranged into two parts: Part I, current issues and suggestions for new approaches (Chapters 1-6) and Part II, empirical and case studies (Chapters 7-19). The book takes multiple approaches to examine how literary texts can be incorporated into teaching practices inan EFLclassro...

The study aims at focusing on the relationship between motivation, culture, and success in foreign language learning in globalizing world. Many studies have been done to examine the relationship between them. The studies showed that culture can play a motivating role in language learning success. Considering Gardner's instrumental and integrative motivation, a learner with a high degree of inte...

How deeply a word is processed has long been considered as a crucial factor in the realm of vocabulary acquisition. In literature, two frameworks have been proposed to operationalize the depth of processing, namely the Involvement Load Hypothesis (ILH) and the Technique Feature Analysis (TFA). However, they differ in the way they have operationalized it specially in terms of their attentional c...

This paper describes the architecture of a Machine Translation System with source language as English and target language as Marathi. The basic approach used for the development of this system is Rule Based Machine Translation. The basic algorithm for obtaining the correct word order in the target language was developed based on specific traversals of the parse tree. One of the special features...
