The Treatment of Derivational Morphology in a Multilingual Transfer-based MT System (Eurotra)

Abstract

In this paper, we examine the impact of using interlingual labels in derivational morphology. We demonstrate that interlingual labels in derivational morphology contribute to reducing complexity in transfer. Our work is based on languages that belong to different language families, i.e. English, Greek and Portuguese, and was carried out in the context of the Eurotra project.
