Source and Translation Classification using Most Frequent Words
Zahurul Islam, Armin Hoenen · International Joint Conference on Natural Language Processing · 2013
Recently, translation scholars have made some general claims about translation properties. Some of these are source language independent while others are not. Koppel and Ordan (2011) performed empirical studies to validate both types of properties using English source texts and other texts translated into English. Obviously, corpora of this sort, which focus on a single language, are not adequate for claiming universality of translation properties. In this paper, we are validating both types of translation properties using original and translated texts from six European languages.
