Approaches to the Reduction of Ambiguity in Machine Translation

L. E. Dostert

Four basic approaches to the resolution of transfer-ambiguity are reviewed: (1) preparation of microglossaries; (2) formulation of linguistic operations to effect structural parallelism between the languages involved; (3) establishment of categories based on semantic functioning; (4) establishment of idiom classes. Structural analysis involved in a French-English translation is examined in detail.
