The organization of the Rosetta grammars
Jan Odijk · 1989
In this paper the organization of the grammars in the Rosetta machine translation system is described and it is shown how this organization makes it possible to translate between words of different syntactic categories in a systematic way. It is also shown how the organization chosen makes it possible to translate 'small clauses' into full clauses and vice versa. The central concept worked out here in some detail is the concept of 'partial isomorphy' between subgrammars. The system as described here has been implemented and is currently being tested.
