Volume on Multi-word Units in MachineTranslation and Translation Technology

 

2 nd CALL FOR PAPERS

 

 

Background: Following the successful workshop onMulti-word Units in Machine 
Translation and Translation Technology held inconjunction with the MT SUMMIT 
2013 conference in Nice (MUMTTT 2013, 3 September 2013), the editorsinvite 
submissions for a volume on the same topics to be published by JohnBenjamins 
during the second half of 2015.

This volume will feature contributions reporting recent advances in thetopics 
which cut across Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, TranslationStudies and 
Computational Phraseology. We invite submissions describing substantialwork 
related to the processing of multi‑word units (MWUs) on topics including,but 
not limited to, the ones listed below. Authors of the MUMTTT 2013 
workshoppapers are invited to submit extended and revised versions of their 
papers, butthis call is open to all researchers working on relevant topics and 
willing toshare their work.  Submissions will bereviewed by at least three 
reviewers.

 

Topics (the list below is indicative but not exhaustive):

Lexical, syntactic, semantic and translational aspects in MWU representation

Collostructional analysis and MWU

Automatic extraction of multilingual MWU resources

Identification and acquisition of multi-word terms and their variants

Development and use of handcrafted MWU linguistic resources in MT

MWUs in Computer-assisted Translation

MWUs in Machine Translation

Paraphrasing of MWUs applied to the improving of MT

MWUs and word alignment techniques

Learning semantic information about MWUs from monolingual, parallel 
orcomparable corpora

Multilingualism and MWU processing

MWU-centred MT evaluation

Compilation of resources for extraction and translation of multiwordunits

Corpora annotated with MWUs for translation studies

 

Submission: We invite full submissions by 28 February 2015 by email to both 
contacteditors below, including the chapter title, list of authors, affiliation 
and a250-word abstract. The full submission is expected to be approximatively

(https://benjamins.com/jbp/additional/jb-guidelines-manuscript-submission-apa.pdf).
 Submissions should describe original work, not published before orunder 
consideration for publication elsewhere. Each submission will beevaluated by 
the scientific committee according to its scientific and technicalmerit, 
usefulness of the approach presented, and relevance to the volume scope.
