Kenneth E. Harper, David G. Hays · Defense Technical Information Center (DTIC) · 1959
The paper describes progress made on the building of a descriptive grammar of Russian with the complementary efforts of linguists and digital computers. The method of research is described, emphasizing the analysis by which the work of human translators is converted into a program of computer instructions. A computer program for sentence-structure determination is outlined; this program is considered the key to accurate machine-translation. (Author)
