Building Carefully Tagged Bilingual Corpora to Cope with Linguistic Idiosyncrasy

Yoshihiko Nitta, Masashi Saraki, Satoru Ikehara


Abstract
We illustrate the effectiveness of medium-sized carefully tagged bilingual core corpus, that is, “semantic typology patterns” in our term together with some examples to give concrete evidence of its usefulness. The most important characteristic of these semantic typology patterns is the bridging mechanism between two languages which is based on sequences syntactic codes and semantic codes. This characteristic gives both wide coverage and flexible applicability of core bilingual core corpus though its volume size is not so large. A further work is to be done for grasping some intuitive feeling of pertinent coarseness and fineness of patterns. Here coarseness feeling is concerning the generalization in phrase-level and clause-level semantic patterns and fineness is concerning word-level semantic patterns. Based on this feeling we will complete the core tagged bilingual corpora while enhancing the necessary support functions and utilities.
