Computational linguistics and Natural Language Processing
It provides an overview for researchers and practitioners in translation studies, but is incremental as it reviews existing approaches.
This chapter introduces computational linguistics methods and their applications to translation, covering models, tools, and challenges in the field.
This chapter provides an introduction to computational linguistics methods, with focus on their applications to the practice and study of translation. It covers computational models, methods and tools for collection, storage, indexing and analysis of linguistic data in the context of translation, and discusses the main methodological issues and challenges in this field. While an exhaustive review of existing computational linguistics methods and tools is beyond the scope of this chapter, we describe the most representative approaches, and illustrate them with descriptions of typical applications.
