MACHINE LANGUAGE TRANSLATION STUDY

Abstract

The developmental status of a generalized computer system for language translation is explained. A formal definition of synonymy in the mathematical model underlying the system and the function of synonymy in the translation algorithm are discussed. Methods are also described by which automatic programming techniqes will use interlingual symbols to organize input and output grammars for the generalized translation algorithm. The system is 'generalized' in the sense that specific languages are not presupposed by the algorithm; it will be capable of translating a wide variety of artificial and natural languages. (Author)
