Abstract:

The MiMo2 translation system combines several leading ideas in the areas of linguistics, computation and translation. In the area of translation we follow the basic ideas of Landsbergen [26] by assuming that translation is symmetric; and combine these ideas with the advantages of a transfer approach. Computationally the system focuses on computability and declarativity. The linguistics of the system is based on a lexicalistic and sign-based approach to grammar.
