   Abstract : This thesis explores the development of parallel treebanks, collections of language data consisting of texts and their translations, with syntactic annotation and alignment, linking words, phrases, and sentences to show translation equivalence. We describe the semi-manual annotation of the SMULTRON parallel treebank, consisting of 1,000 sentences in English, German and Swedish. READ MORE

6. 4. Antonyms in Context : A Corpus-Based Semantic Analysis of Swedish Descriptive Adjectives

   Author : Caroline Willners; Allmän språkvetenskap; []
   Keywords : HUMANIORA; HUMANITIES; Nordiska språk språk och litteratur ; Scandinavian languages and literature; WordNet; semantic frameword; semantic network; sentential co-occurrence; semantic range; adjectives; antnoymy; lexical semantics; corpus-based methods; Lexicology; Lexikologi; Grammar; semantics; semiotics; syntax; Grammatik; semantik; semiotik;

   Abstract : How are antonym relations acquired? What types of lexical information can be extracted from corpora and how? How can this information be encoded in a lexicon? The work in this book was developed within the framework of WordNet. A further elaborated lexical model is suggested, as well as methods for implementing it. READ MORE

7. 5. 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
