Abstract:
ln this paper, we deal with the treatment of compounds, whether one-word or multi-word, in a transfer based machine translation system. We examine the issue of keeping the hierarchical structure of compounds below the level of syntactic representations. Such a treatment is not only motivated by the general hypothesis of an autonomous morphological component, but it also allows compounds to be translated in a simple way across European languages. Our claims are supported by examples taken from Greek, English, German and a certain number of the Romance languages such as French, Italian and Spanish.
