A compositional approach to the translation of temporal expressions in the Rosetta system
Lisette Appelo · 1986
This paper discusses the translation of temporal expressions, in the framework of the machine translation system Rosetta. The translation method of Rosetta, the 'isomorphic grammar method', is based on Montague's Compositionality Principle. It is shown that a compositional approach leads to a transparent account of the complex aspects of time in natural language and can be used for the translation of temporal expressions.
