A survey of parallel text processing

  • Chapter
Book cover Parallel Text Processing

Part of the book series: Text, Speech and Language Technology ((TLTB,volume 13))

Abstract

This introductory chapter provides a survey of the processing and use of parallel texts, i.e., texts accompanied by their translation. Throughout the chapter, the various authors’ contributions to the book are considered and related to the state of the art in the field. Three themes are addressed, corresponding to the three parts of the book: (i) techniques and methodology for the alignment of parallel texts at various levels such as sentences, clauses or words; (ii) applications of parallel texts in fields such as translation, lexicography, and information retrieval; and (iii) available corpus resources and evaluation of alignment methods.
