Synopsis

This volume comes out of the research of the Linguistic Specifications Group of the Eurotra Project, an EC-funded project for machine translation between the EC languages. The key assumption is that machine translation is not merely a mechanical process but in fact requires a high level of linguistic sophistication; the nuances of syntax, semantics and intonation cannot always be conveyed by modern technology. However, practical reality has ensured that machine translation will be a major growth area in the 1990's with an increasing necessity for communication on a much wider scale. The importance of machine translation for economic development by the level of expenditure already being pumped into the area in Japan.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The key assumption in this text is that machine translation is not merely a mechanical process but in fact requires a high level of linguistic sophistication, as the nuances of syntax, semantics and intonation cannot always be conveyed by modern technology. The increasing dependence on artificial communication by private and corporate users makes this research area an invaluable element when teaching linguistic theory.
