Hanne Moa · DSpace repository (University of Tartu) · 2006
ReCompounder is a working prototype for automatic translation of compounds by using the web as language model and a comprehensive bilingual dictionaryastranslationmodel. Evaluation shows this strategy is viable also with current search engine technologies. In addition to a detailed overview of the system, there is a discussion of the current capabilities of the search engines used (Google and Yahoo! Search) and some tendencies relevant to lexicography. As the system currently translates from Norwegian toEnglish,abriefintroductiontocompounding in Norwegian is included.
