2. 1. Recycling Translations : Extraction of Lexical Data from Parallel Corpora and their Application in Natural Language Processing

   Author : Jörg Tiedemann; Anna Sågvall Hein; Joakim Nivre; Uppsala universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computational linguistics; word alignment; parallel corpora; translation corpora; computational lexicography; machine translation; Datorlingvistik; Computational linguistics; Datorlingvistik;

   Abstract : The focus of this thesis is on re-using translations in natural language processing. It involves the collection of documents and their translations in an appropriate format, the automatic extraction of translation data, and the application of the extracted data to different tasks in natural language processing.

4. 2. Progressives in use and contact : A descriptive, areal and typological study with special focus on selected Iranian languages

   Author : Ghazaleh Vafaeian; Östen Dahl; Agnes Korn; Maria Koptjevskaja Tamm; Pier Marco Bertinetto; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; progressive; use; contact; areal; parallel corpora; typology; grammaticalization; Iranian; Persian; Mazandarani; Gilaki; Taleshi; Tati; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : Progressives are grammatical patterns primarily used to refer to events that are ongoing at a specific time. This thesis investigates uses of such patterns in a number of languages as well as the interaction of a number of progressives in contact. READ MORE

5. 3. Word Alignment by Re-using Parallel Phrases

   Author : Maria Holmqvist; Lars Ahrenberg; Magnus Merkel; Jörg Tiedemann; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; computational linguistics; Computational linguistics; Datorlingvistik;

   Abstract : In this thesis we present the idea of using parallel phrases for word alignment. Each parallel phrase is extracted from a set of manual word alignments and contains a number of source and target words and their corresponding alignments. If a parallel phrase matches a new sentence pair, its word alignments can be applied to the new sentence. READ MORE

6. 4. Understanding and enhancing translation by parallel text processing

   Author : Magnus Merkel; Linköpings universitet; []
   Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Computer science; Datavetenskap;

   Abstract : In recent years the fields of translation studies, natural language processing and corpus linguistics have come to share one object of study, namely parallel text corpora, and more specifically translation corpora. In this thesis it is shown how all three fields can benefit from each other, and, in particular, that a prerequisite for making better translations (whether by humans or with the aid of computer-assisted tools) is to understand features and relationships that exist in a translation corpus.

7. 5. Knowledge predication : A semantic typology

   Author : Anna Sjöberg; Bernhard Wälchli; Maria Koptjevskaja-Tamm; Volker Gast; Stockholms universitet; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; semantic typology; constructional typology; semantic maps; knowledge; epistemology; parallel texts; language sampling; token-based typology; cognitive semantics; Linguistics; lingvistik;

   Abstract : The present thesis is an investigation of the cross-linguistic expression of knowledge predication (‘He knows that it’s raining’, ‘she knows the boy’ etc.) Knowledge predication is investigated in parallel texts—specifically New Testament translations—in a genealogically and areally stratified variety sample of 83 languages.
