Language Production, Cognition, and the Lexicon

This volume provides an overview of the field of Hybrid Machine Translation (MT) and presents some of the latest research conducted by linguists and practitioners from different multidisciplinary areas. Nowadays, most important developments in MT are achieved by combining data-driven and rule-based techniques. These combinations typically involve hybridization of different traditional paradigms, such as the introduction of linguistic knowledge into statistical approaches to MT, the incorporation of data-driven components into rule-based approaches, or statistical and rule-based pre- and post-processing for both types of MT architectures. The book is of interest primarily to MT specialists, but also – in the wider fields of Computational Linguistics, Machine Learning and Data Mining – to translators and managers of translation companies and departments who are interested in recent developments concerning automated translation tools.

The book collects contributions from well-established researchers at the interface between language and cognition. It provides an overview of the latest insights into this interdisciplinary field from the perspectives of natural language processing, computer science, psycholinguistics and cognitive science.One of the pioneers in cognitive natural language processing is Michael Zock, to whom this volume is dedicated. The structure of the book reflects his main research interests: lexicon and lexical analysis, semantics, language and speech generation, reading and writing technologies, language resources and language engineering.The book is a valuable reference work and authoritative information source, giving an overview on the field and describing the state of the art as well as future developments. It is intended for researchers and advanced students interested in the subject.One of the pioneers in cognitive natural language processing is Michael Zock, to whom this volume is dedicated.

Eine Würdigung des Geehrten und ein Verzeichnis seiner Publikationen bilden den Rahmen für die Artikel der Festschrift für Abraham P. ten Cate (Universität Groningen) zu seinem 65. Geburtstag. Sie enthält Beiträge zu seinen Hauptarbeitsgebieten. Aufsätzen zur Grammatik des Deutschen und anderer Sprachen, vornehmlich im Bereich der Syntax, folgen Arbeiten zur Wort- und Textsemantik. Die Beiträge zur kontrastiven Linguistik beschäftigen sich mit dem Kaschubischen, Niederländischen, Russischen und Ungarischen sowie mit interkultureller Kommunikation und Multikulturalität im Allgemeinen. Ihnen folgt ein Block zu Fragen des Spracherwerbs und Sprachunterrichts, u. a. mit Bezug auf die Situation in den Niederlanden. Zwei Aufsätze zur Sprach- und Kommunikationstheorie beschließen den thematischen Teil des Bandes.

In the field of multilingual NLP (such as machine translation and terminology mining) this implied the use of parallel corpora. Nevertheless, this research direction has not produced a single authoritative source suitable for researchers and students coming to the field.
