CRITTER : a translation system for agricultural market reports / Pierre Isabelle, Marc Dymetman, Elliott Macklovitch.: Co28-1/25-1988E-PDF

"The CRITTER system is being developed to translate agricultural market reports between English and French. It is based on a transfer model, and designed to be reversible. The source and target language texts are described by means of: a) a surface syntactic representation consisting of a tree annotated with feature structures, built by an extraposition grammar; and b) a semantic representation exhibiting predicate argument structures and constrained by type checking, built in parallel with the syntactic structure in compositional fashion. CRITTERS's implementation is still incomplete, but results obtained so far are promising"--Abstract.
