EUROPARL CORPUS HWFL GLOSSARIES 4 Abstract The main goal of this thesis was to experimentally create a set of multilingual glossaries (English/German/Czech/Slovak) of the most frequent words in the European Parliament using quantitative corpus-based lexical analysis of the Europarl corpus. The result was aimed to help advanced non-native speakers of English to acquire active vocabulary in their language combination for effective oral communication in the political discourse. Throughout the thesis, the inductive transdisciplinary approach is applied - creating a useful language learning tool represented the main research problem that was to be solved through application of knowledge from various disciplines such as English language teaching, speech science, lexicology, terminology, language for special purposes with a special focus on politolinguistics, computer assisted vocabulary learning, and finally, corpus linguistics as a working method for corpus analysis. Based on our theoretical review, it can be confirmed that: a) learning HFWL is the most effective learning method for vocabulary acquisition considering the amount of time given and the delivered results, b) learning vocabulary aimed at its automatization may lead to speech output improvement, and c) political language can be regarded to a certain extent as a language for special purposes. The results of literature review are summarized in the proposed cognitive model for spoken speech production. In the practical part, the theoretical knowledge of corpus linguistics was applied for creating a set of four multilingual glossaries. This thesis puts the case for using multilingual glossaries based on high frequency word lists as a didactic tool, but the hypothesis still remains to be validated in other experimental studies.

Das Ziel war es, anhand der Korpusanalyse ein Hilfsmittel für fortgeschrittene englische Nicht-Muttersprachler zusammenzustellen, das den Erwerb des aktiven Wortschatzes im politischen Diskurs erleichtert und folglich zur Verbesserung der mündlichen Sprachkompetenz führt. Die Masterarbeit basiert auf dem induktiven transdisziplinären Ansatz; Das Vorhaben, dieses Hilfsmittel zusammenzustellen, stellt das Forschungsproblem dar. Dieses wurde durch die Anwendung von Wissen aus unterschiedlichen akademischen Disziplinen gelöst, nämlich dem Sprachunterricht, der Sprachwissenschaft, der Lexikologie, der Terminologie, der Fachsprachenforschung, genauer genommen der Politolinguistik, dem computergestützten Sprachunterricht und zu guter Letzt der Korpuslinguistik als die Untersuchungsmethode. Auf der Grundlage der recherchierten Informationen konnte eruiert werden, dass a) das Erlernen von Häufigkeitswortschatz, gemessen an den Lernergebnissen und dem Zeitaufwand, die effektivste Lernmethode für den Wortschatzerwerb ist, b) ein Wortschatzerwerb, der auf die Automatisierung des aktiven Wortschatzes abzielt, zur Verbesserung der mündlichen Sprachkompetenz führen kann, und c) die politische Sprache in gewissem Maße als Fachsprache betrachtet werden kann. Die Ergebnisse der Literaturrecherche wurden beim Entwurf eines synthetisierten Models für die mündliche Sprachproduktion angewendet. Die in der Masterarbeit präsentierten vier Glossare bestehen aus einer quantitativen Korpusanalyse des Europarl Korpus und einer qualitativen Korpusanalyse der identifizierten 3000 häufigsten Wörter und der 1500 häufigsten Schlüsselwörter. In der Masterarbeit wird vorgeschlagen, das Lernen von Glossaren, die auf Häufigkeitswortschatz basieren, als didaktische Methode anzuwenden, aber diese Hypothese ist noch bei anderen experimentellen Studien zu verifizieren.

  • Machine-Translation Inspired Reordering As Preprocessing for Cross-Lingual Sentiment Analysis
    Master in Cognitive Science and Language Master’s Thesis September 2018 Machine-translation inspired reordering as preprocessing for cross-lingual sentiment analysis Alejandro Ramírez Atrio Supervisor: Toni Badia Abstract In this thesis we study the effect of word reordering as preprocessing for Cross-Lingual Sentiment Analysis. We try different reorderings in two target languages (Spanish and Catalan) so that their word order more closely resembles the one from our source language (English). Our original expectation was that a Long Short Term Memory classifier trained on English data with bilingual word embeddings would internalize English word order, resulting in poor performance when tested on a target language with different word order. We hypothesized that the more the word order of any of our target languages resembles the one of our source language, the better the overall performance of our sentiment classifier would be when analyzing the target language. We tested five sets of transformation rules for our Part of Speech reorderings of Spanish and Catalan, extracted mainly from two sources: two papers by Crego and Mariño (2006a and 2006b) and our own empirical analysis of two corpora: CoStEP and Tatoeba. The results suggest that the bilingual word embeddings that we are training our Long Short Term Memory model with do not improve any English word order learning by part of the model when used cross-lingually. There is no improvement when reordering the Spanish and Catalan texts so that their word order more closely resembles English, and no significant drop in result score even when applying a random reordering to them making them almost unintelligible, neither when classifying between 2 options (positive-negative) nor between 4 (strongly positive, positive, negative, strongly negative).

Abusive behavior such as cyberbullying, hate speech, and scapegoating can poison the social climates within online communities. The last few years have seen a surge in such abusive online behavior, leaving governments, social media platforms, and individuals struggling to deal with the consequences. As a field that works directly with computational analysis of language, the NLP community is uniquely positioned to address the difficult problem of abusive language online; encouraging collaborative and innovate work in this area is the goal of this workshop. The first year of the workshop saw 14 papers presented in a day-long program including interdisciplinary panels and active discussion. In this second edition, we have aimed to build on the success of the first year, maintaining a focus on computationally detecting abusive language and encouraging interdisciplinary work. Reflecting the growing research focus on this topic, the number of submissions received more than doubled from 22 in last year’s edition of the workshop to 48 this year.

  • Using Morphemes from Agglutinative Languages Like Quechua and Finnish to Aid in Low-Resource Translation
    Using Morphemes from Agglutinative Languages like Quechua and Finnish to Aid in Low-Resource Translation John E. Ortega [email protected] Dept. de Llenguatges i Sistemes Informatics, Universitat d’Alacant, E-03071, Alacant, Spain Krishnan Pillaipakkamnatt [email protected] Department of Computer Science, Hofstra University, Hempstead, NY 11549, USA Abstract Quechua is a low-resource language spoken by nearly 9 million persons in South America (Hintz and Hintz, 2017). Yet, in recent times there are few published accounts of successful adaptations of machine translation systems for low-resource languages like Quechua. In some cases, machine translations from Quechua to Spanish are inadequate due to error in alignment. We attempt to improve previous alignment techniques by aligning two languages that are simi- lar due to agglutination: Quechua and Finnish. Our novel technique allows us to add rules that improve alignment for the prediction algorithm used in common machine translation systems. 1 Introduction The NP-complete problem of translating natural languages as they are spoken by humans to machine readable text is a complex problem; yet, is partially solvable due to the accuracy of machine language translations when compared to human translations (Kleinberg and Tardos, 2005). Statistical machine translation (SMT) systems such as Moses 1, require that an algo- rithm be combined with enough parallel corpora, text from distinct languages that can be com- pared sentence by sentence, to build phrase translation tables from language models. For many European languages, the translation task of bringing words together in a sequential sentence- by-sentence format for modeling, known as word alignment, is not hard due to the abundance of parallel corpora in large data sets such as Europarl 2.

  • A Massively Parallel Corpus: the Bible in 100 Languages
    Lang Resources & Evaluation DOI 10.1007/s10579-014-9287-y ORIGINAL PAPER A massively parallel corpus: the Bible in 100 languages Christos Christodouloupoulos • Mark Steedman Ó The Author(s) 2014. This article is published with open access at Springerlink.com Abstract We describe the creation of a massively parallel corpus based on 100 translations of the Bible. We discuss some of the difficulties in acquiring and processing the raw material as well as the potential of the Bible as a corpus for natural language processing. Finally we present a statistical analysis of the corpora collected and a detailed comparison between the English translation and other English corpora. Keywords Parallel corpus Á Multilingual corpus Á Comparative corpus linguistics 1 Introduction Parallel corpora are a valuable resource for linguistic research and natural language processing (NLP) applications. One of the main uses of the latter kind is as training material for statistical machine translation (SMT), where large amounts of aligned data are standardly used to learn word alignment models between the lexica of two languages (for example, in the Giza?? system of Och and Ney 2003). Another interesting use of parallel corpora in NLP is projected learning of linguistic structure. In this approach, supervised data from a resource-rich language is used to guide the unsupervised learning algorithm in a target language. Although there are some techniques that do not require parallel texts (e.g. Cohen et al. 2011), the most successful models use sentence-aligned corpora (Yarowsky and Ngai 2001; Das and Petrov 2011).

  • A Corpus-Based Study of Unaccusative Verbs and Auxiliary Selection
    To be or not to be: A corpus-based study of unaccusative verbs and auxiliary selection Master's Thesis Presented to The Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Department of Computer Science James Pustejovsky, Advisor In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for Master's Degree By Richard A. Brutti Jr. May 2012 c Copyright by Richard A. Brutti Jr. 2012 All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT To be or not to be: A corpus-based study of unaccusative verbs and auxiliary selection A thesis presented to the Department of Computer Science Graduate School of Arts and Sciences Brandeis University Waltham, Massachusetts Richard A. Brutti Jr. Since the introduction of the Unaccusative Hypothesis (Perlmutter, 1978), there have been many further attempts to explain the mechanisms behind the division in intransitive verbs. This paper aims to analyze and test some of theories of unac- cusativity using computational linguistic tools. Specifically, I focus on verbs that exhibit split intransitivity, that is, verbs that can appear in both unaccusative and unergative constructions, and in determining the distinguishing features that make this alternation possible. Many formal linguistic theories of unaccusativity involve the interplay of semantic roles and temporal event markers, both of which can be analyzed using statistical computational linguistic tools, including semantic role labelers, semantic parses, and automatic event classification. I use auxiliary verb selection as a surface-level indicator of unaccusativity in Italian and Dutch, and iii test various classes of verbs extracted from the Europarl corpus (Koehn, 2005). Additionally, I provide some historical background for the evolution of this dis- tinction, and analyze how my results fit into the larger theoretical framework.

  • The Translation Equivalents Database (Treq) As a Lexicographer’S Aid
    The Translation Equivalents Database (Treq) as a Lexicographer’s Aid Michal Škrabal, Martin Vavřín Institute of the Czech National Corpus, Charles University, Czech Republic E-mail: [email protected], [email protected] Abstract The aim of this paper is to introduce a tool that has recently been developed at the Institute of the Czech National Corpus, the Treq (Translation Equivalents) database, and to explore its possible uses, especially in the field of lexicography. Equivalent candidates offered by Treq can also be considered as potential equivalents in a bilingual dictionary (we will focus on the Latvian–Czech combination in this paper). Lexicographers instantly receive a list of candidates for target language counterparts and their frequencies (expressed both in absolute numbers and percentages) that suggest the probability that a given candidate is functionally equivalent. A significant advantage is the possibility to click on any one of these candidates and immediately verify their individual occurrences in a given context; and thus more easily distinguish the relevant translation candidates from the misleading ones. This utility, which is based on data stored in the InterCorp parallel corpus, is continually being upgraded and enriched with new functions (the recent integration of multi-word units, adding English as the primary language of the dictionaries, an improved interface, etc.), and the accuracy of the results is growing as the volume of data keeps increasing. Keywords: InterCorp; Treq; translation equivalents; alignment; Latvian–Czech dictionary 1. Introduction The aim of this paper is to introduce one of the tools that has been developed recently at the Institute of the Czech National Corpus (ICNC) and which could be especially helpful to lexicographers: namely, the Treq translation equivalents database1.
