[MONTI J. -P. a. s. u. e sociali-d <jm...@un...>]

Volume on Multi-word Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology

 

2 nd CALL FOR PAPERS
 

Background: Following the successful workshop on Multi-word Units in Machine
Translation and Translation Technology held in conjunction with the MT SUMMIT
2013 conference in Nice (MUMTTT 2013, 3 September 2013), the editors invite
submissions for a volume on the same topics to be published by John Benjamins
during the second half of 2015.

This volume will feature contributions reporting recent advances in the topics
which cut across Linguistics, Computational Linguistics, Translation Studies
and Computational Phraseology. We invite submissions describing substantial
work related to the processing of multi‑word units (MWUs) on topics
including,but not limited to, the ones listed below. Authors of the MUMTTT
2013 workshop papers are invited to submit extended and revised versions of
their papers, but this call is open to all researchers working on relevant
topics and willing toshare their work.  Submissions will be reviewed by at
least three reviewers.

 

Topics (the list below is indicative but not exhaustive):

Lexical, syntactic, semantic and translational aspects in MWU representation

Collostructional analysis and MWU

Automatic extraction of multilingual MWU resources

Identification and acquisition of multi-word terms and their variants

Development and use of handcrafted MWU linguistic resources in MT

MWUs in Computer-assisted Translation

MWUs in Machine Translation

Paraphrasing of MWUs applied to the improving of MT

MWUs and word alignment techniques

Learning semantic information about MWUs from monolingual, parallel
orcomparable corpora

Multilingualism and MWU processing

MWU-centred MT evaluation

Compilation of resources for extraction and translation of multiwordunits

Corpora annotated with MWUs for translation studies

 

Submission: We invite full submissions by 28 February 2015 by email to both 
contact editors below, including the chapter title, list of authors,
affiliation and a 250-word abstract. The full submission is expected to be
approximatively 5,000 words in length, excluding citations and appendices, and
should be formatted according to the publisher’s author guidelines
(https://benjamins.com/jbp/additional/jb-guidelines-manuscript-submission-apa.pdf).
Submissions should describe original work, not published before or under
consideration for publication elsewhere. Each submission will be evaluated by
the scientific committee according to its scientific and technical merit,
usefulness of the approach presented, and relevance to the volume scope.

 

Schedule

Full submission: 28 February 2015(possible also without having sent the
