Abstract

Syntactic analysis is performed on an input and on entries of a bilingual example database using at least one parse tree. The parse trees, formed using a context-free grammar, comprise a number of nodes and each node comprises at least one production rule. Furthermore, at least one node comprises nested production rules. The nested production rules comprise production rules for different combinations of the linguistic constituents of the input. The syntactic analysis comprises recognizing linguistic constituents, ordering the linguistic constituents, representing the linguistic constituents using an adapted feature structure analysis representation, and manipulating the adapted feature structure analysis representation using a natural language parser. The syntactic analysis further comprises generalizing surface variations in the input and the entries of the example database in order to increase the translation efficiency. Linguistic constituents of the input are determined, and a pragmatic type and a syntactic type of the linguistic constituents are determined. The order of the linguistic constituents in the input is retained. An output is provided comprising an identification of the input.
