Abstract

An adequate, complete, and economical linguistic theory is necessary for MT and the question is whether a consistent use of the often unduly neglected dependency syntax, including a systematic description of topic and focus, cannot serve as a reliable base for the grammar of an interlingua, or of a set of interrelated interface structures.

CSC '89: Proceedings of the 17th conference on ACM Annual Computer Science Conference

The concept of interlingua is of seventeenth century provenance, and it gained the attention of computer scientists in the context of MT. The idea was that if there are n source languages (SLs) then n(n-1) algorithms are required to ...
