Publisher's Synopsis
Machine translation is a central aspect of research in artificial intelligence. This book presents the main elements of the theory and implementation of a system for the automatic analysis of German. The work has been carried out within the Eurotra-D team, the German Language Group of the multi-lingual machine translation project Eurotra.;The issues raised include syntax, semantics, analysis and generation, and lexical transfer. While the authors emphasize that they represent the specific approach of Eurotra-D, rather than speaking for the whole Eurotra project, the ideas discussed should be relevant for any analysis part of multi-lingual machine translation.
