Lexical choice in text generation and machine translation

  • Published:
Machine Translation

Abstract

We present in this article the state of the art in lexical choice research in text generation and machine translation. The existing implementations are discussed with respect to four topics: (i) the place of lexical choice in the overall generation process, (ii) the information flow within the generation process and the consequences thereof for lexical choice, (iii) the internal organization of the lexical choice process, (iv) the phenomena covered by lexical choice. Possible future directions in lexical choice research are identified.
