ON ARGUMENT REALIZATION IN THE APERTIUM PLATFORM

Abstract

There is a wide range of theories, approaches and interpretations dedicated to the realization of the arguments of a verb. On the one hand, the syntactic and semantic facets of argument realization still pose theoretical challenges to linguists. On the other hand, in the present era of information there is the practical question of how to represent the argument structure in a machine-readable form.The current paper focuses on Apertium, one of the most popular platforms for rule-based machine translation (RBMT).
