TAILIEUCHUNG - Báo cáo khoa học: "FALLIBLE RATIONALISM AND MACHINE TRANSLATION "

Grammars embodying the CSDC are incorporated into an existing A~{ parser, and are tested successfully against a wide group of "and" conjunctive sentences, which are of three types, namely clausal coordination, phrasal coordination, and gapping. With phrasal coordination the structure with two NPs coordinated by "and" has been given most attention. | FALLIBLE RATIONALISM AND MACHINE TRANSLATION Geoffrey Sampson Department of Linguistics Si Modern English Language University of Lancaster LANCASTER LA1-4YT . ABSTRACT Approaches to MT have been heavily influenced by changing trends in the philosophy of language and mind. Because of the artificial hiatus which followed the publication of the ALB4C Report MT research in the 1970s and early 1980s has had to catch up with major developments that have occurred in linguistic and philosophical thinking currently MT seems to be uncritically loyal to a paradigm of thought about language which is rapidly losing most of its adherents in departments of linguistics and philosophy. I argue both in theoretical terms and by reference to empirical research on a particular translation problem that the Popperian fallible rationalist view of mental processes which is winning acceptance as a more sophisticated alternative to Chomskyan deterministic rationalism should lead MT researchers to redefine their goals and to adopt certain currently-neglected techniques in trying to achieve those goals. 1. Since the Second World War three rival views of the nature of the human mind have competed for the allegiance of philosophically-minded people. Each of these views has Implications for our understanding of language. The 1950s and early 1960s were dominated by a behaviourist approach tracing its ancestry to John Locke and represented recently . by Leonard Bloomfield and . Skinner. On this view mind is merely a name for a set of associations that have been established during a person s life between external stimuli and behavioural responses. The meaning of a sentence is to be understood not as the effect it has on an unobservable internal model of reality but as the behaviour it evokes in the hearer. During the 1960s this view lost ground to the rationalist ideas of Noam Chomsky working in an intellectual tradition founded by Plato and reinaugurated in modern times by Rene Descartes.
