Bilingual speakers, who need not be linguists, translate a designed English corpus into their language and mark word alignments in a special tool. The corpus is organised in minimal pairs and in order of complexity, from noun phrases to sentences, so that rules can be… 4. **[Balancing Expressiveness and Simplicity in an Interlingua for Task Based Dialogue](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/levin-2002-balancing-expressiveness-simplicity-interlingua-task/)** *(2002)* The paper compares two domain-action interlinguas for speech translation in travel dialogue. The older C-star II format has 44 speech acts, 93 concepts and 117 argument names; the Nespole format is finer, with 65 speech acts, 110 concepts and 292 arguments. The authors re-tag the C-star II database (about 2,300… 5. **[The Correct Place of Lexical Semantics in Interlingual MT](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/levin-1994-correct-place-lexical-semantics-interlingual/)** *(1994)* The paper argues that a lexical conceptual structure (LCS) cannot be an interlingua by itself. It contributes to the lexical-semantic level, while the interlingua proper is a text meaning representation (TMR) tied to an ontology. The Mikrokosmos model keeps both: a lexicon whose entries use role names as labels for… ## Co-authors (27) - [Alon Lavie](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/alon-lavie/) ×2 - Ariadna Font-Llitjos - [Carolyn Rosé](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/carolyn-rose/) - David Mortensen - Donna Gates - Dorcas Pianta - [Erik Peterson](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/erik-peterson/) - Fabio Pianesi - [Jaime Carbonell](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/jaime-carbonell/) - [Juntao Yu](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/juntao-yu/) - [Katharina Probst](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/katharina-probst/) - Kay Peterson - [Massimo Poesio](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/massimo-poesio/) - [Michael Strube](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/michael-strube/) - [Na-Rae Han](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/na-rae-han/) - Nadia Mana - Patrick Littell - [Ramesh Manuvinakurike](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/ramesh-manuvinakurike/) - Roldano Cattoni - [Sergei Nirenburg](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/sergei-nirenburg/) - Shruti Rijhwani - [Sopan Khosla](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/sopan-khosla/) - [Stephan Vogel](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/stephan-vogel/) - [Teruko Mitamura](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/teruko-mitamura/) - Tom McCoy - [Vincent Ng](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/vincent-ng/) - Zaid Sheikh - [← previous Lonneke van der Plas](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/lonneke-van-der-plas/) - [next → Louis Mahon](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/louis-mahon/) - [↑ back to Authors](https://md.mova.elamur.ai/free/en/docs/papers/authors/)
