Abstract
The principle of compositionality of translation, introduced in Chapter 2, is the main principle of the Rosetta method and constitutes an important theme of this book. A mathematical model of compositional translation will be developed in the present chapter. The character of this chapter is somewhat different from the two previous chapters. Chapters 17 and 18 provide a formal treatment of the Rosetta system from two different perspectives, whereas the present chapter is more remote, in the sense that it does not primarily deal with the system, but with its method. The model that will be presented will be abstract, using several notions from universal algebra, but the main example of this model will, of course, be the Rosetta system.
