  1. 1. Syntax-based Concept Alignment for Machine Translation

    University essay from Göteborgs universitet/Institutionen för data- och informationsteknik

    Author : Arianna Masciolini; [2023-03-30]
    Keywords : computational linguistic; machine translation; concept alignment; syntax; dependency parsing; Universal Dependencies; Grammatical Framework;

    Abstract : This thesis presents a syntax-based approach to Concept Alignment (CA), the task of finding semantical correspondences between parts of multilingual parallel texts, with a focus on Machine Translation (MT). Two variants of CA are taken into account: Concept Extraction (CE), whose aim is to identify new concepts by means of mere linguistic comparison, and Concept Propagation (CP), which consists in looking for the translation equivalents of a set of known concepts in a new language.

  3. 2. How negation influences word order in languages : Automatic classification of word order preference in positive and negative transitive clauses

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Institutionen för lingvistik och filologi

    Author : Chen Lyu; [2023]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In this work, we explore the possibility of using word alignment in parallel corpus to project language annotations such as Part-of-Speech tags and dependency relation from high-resource languages to low-resource languages. We use a parallel corpus of Bible translations, including 1,444 translations in 986 languages, and a well-developed parser is used to annotate source languages (English, French, German, and Czech).

  4. 3. A Case for Generative Linguistics in New Testament Exegesis : Surveying the Current Theoretical Landscape and Possible Applicability to Biblical Studies

    University essay from Enskilda Högskolan Stockholm/Avdelningen för religionsvetenskap och teologi

    Author : Per Kristiansson; [2022]
    Keywords : Koine Greek; biblical Greek; syntax; generative linguistics; generative grammar; functional grammar; dependency grammar; transformational grammar; lingual hallmark; modern linguistics; parsing; compilation; minimalist program; New Testament text;

    Abstract : This essay surveys the current theoretical landscape of modern linguistics, asking whethe generative and possibly transformational linguistics can be applied to syntactic analysis of New Testament texts written in Koine Greek to find lingual hallmarks in the form of personal usage of syntactic rules that uniquely identify the authors of the texts. The conclusion is that there seems to be evidence that an application of a minimalist approach could make the detection of such lingual hallmarks possible. READ MORE
