Els llenguatges controlats i la seva aplicació a la traducció automàtica: 20 anys després

Autors/ores

Resum

Aquest estudi revisa l’ús de lenguatges controlats com a estratègia de preedició per millorar la qualitat de la traducció automàtica. Tracem un marc teòric del qual es desprenen variables lingüístiques que serveixen per dissenyar un caso pràctic. A partir d’una avaluació quantitativa i qualitativa, analitzem la productivitat de la preedició i proposem línies d’investigació futures.

Paraules clau

llenguatges controlats, traducció automàtica, preedició, traductibilitat, qualitat de la traducció automàtica
