Bidirectional Translation for Simple Sentences (English<>Arabic)
(Zainab Ali Khalaf)Abstract
The present paper aims at designing a system that analyzes input
sentences in the source language (English or Arabic) to ensure its syntactic,
semantic and spelling correctness. This is achieved by transformational
grammar using semantic aspects properly suggested by Fillmore’s Case
Theory and Schank’s Conceptual Graphs to enhance linguistic word meaning
and then translate the sentences to the target language (English or Arabic).
In addition, the system builds parser trees that explain the functional
relations among sentence components in both languages (English and
Arabic).
Different English and Arabic sentences were tested using the current
system, and the results were promising. On the basis of determined
acceptance of the sentence, the source sentence (English or Arabic) is
translated into the target language (English or Arabic).
Key Words: Chomskyian transformational theory, Fillmore’s Theory,
Sentence Translation, Schank’s Theory.
