We present a domain-restricted rule based machine translation system based on dependency parsing. We replace the transfer phase of the classical analysis, transfer, and generation strategy with a syntax planning algorithm that directly linearizes the dependency parse of the source sentence as per the syntax of the target language. While we have built the system for English to Hindi translation,...

We describe the CMU-UKA Syntax Augmented Machine Translation system ‘SAMT’ used for the shared task “Machine Translation for European Languages” at the ACL 2007 Workshop on Statistical Machine Translation. Following an overview of syntax augmented machine translation, we describe parameters for components in our open-source SAMT toolkit that were used to generate translation results for the Spa...

Today in the world of English language teaching and learning, EIL(English as an international language) has been gradually preferred, instead of the traditional ESL(English as a second language) or EFL(English as a foreign language). It is believed that non-native English varieties developed worldwide should be as important as the native English varieties and it is rational for decision-makers ...

Comparing English and Finnish, and simplifying a complex issue very much, we can say that English has fixed word order and Finnish has free word order. Syntactic theories such as HPSG (Sag and Wasow, 1999) have provided relatively successful descriptions of English, using a phrase structure approach to capture generalizations about fixed word order. Software tools such as LKB (Copestake, 2000) ...
