General problems connected with the analysis of compounds are briefly reviewed, and the project, for the automatic translation of Swiss avalanche bulletins, is introduced. Avalanche bulletins deal with a limited semantic domain and employ a sublanguage in which nominal compounds occur frequently. These and other properties of the texts affect the treatment of compounds, permitting certain simplifications, while leaving a number of possible alternative analyses. We discuss the different problems involving the translation of compounds between German and French, and show how the computational environment in use permits two different approaches to the problem: an interlingua-based approach and a transfer-based approach. Finally, wc evaluate these approaches with respect to linguistic and computational considerations applicable in a MT-system dealing with a limited semantic domain and describe the solution that has actually been implemented.", | |

In an application such as avalanche bulletin translation, however, the necessity for a deep or sophisticated analysis of compound meanings is not obvious. On the one hand, the number of compounds appearing in the sublanguage is highly restricted (approximately 400); they may therefore be listed exhaustively, and the question of disambiguation does not arise. And on the other, the interpretation of a compound is given by its established translation -the meaning of Lawinengefahr ('danger of avalanches') is just the information necessary to produce the required target language expression danger d'avalanches (or pericolo di valanghe, etc.).", | |

Analysis of the corpus of avalanche bulletin texts brought to light two types of case in which the same representation could be obtained for a compound and a complex NP. In the first, a fourth element either appears with a compound in a complex NP or has been included as an element of the compound itself. As both constructions contain exactly the same information, it was decided to eliminate the second possibility, and allow no more than three elements within a compound.

| "text": "To conclude, we return to the four problems stated in section 1: Identification of compounds presents no problem; a compound is listed in the lexicon just like any other noun, except that its representation is more complex. Segmentation of compounds is not performed; the number and variety of compounds in the texts is sufficiently restricted, and the facilities of ELU sufficiently flexible, to make morphological analysis redundant. Disambiguation of the structure of compounds is not necessary, since they are not morphologically decomposed, and since the Interpretation of compounds is given by their lexical entry in combination with the transfer rules which accept meaning representations of sentences in which compounds appear. In this paper we have outlined our approach to the treatment of compounds in a machine translation system dealing with the limited domain of avalanches in Switzerland. We have shown how we used ELU, a unificationbased hnguistic environment which has been developed for the implementation of machine translation systems for the testing of two different approaches to the translation of compounds: a transfer-based approach and an intedingua-oriented approach. The implementation of the these two approaches has shown that even though they have both proved satisfactory the interlingua approach seems more efficient and more general for the treatment of the sublanguage because it permits a rapid and coherent reversible transfer. The decomposition oJ the German compounds which is indispensible in an interlingua approach and did not complicate the system made it possible for us to solve the problems related tc the translation of compounds which are the changing ot categories, the use of synonymy and the removal or addition of certain elements in the target language.", | |
