| Résumé | Implicit discourse connectives and re-lations are distributed more widely in Chinese texts, when translating into English, such connectives are usually translated explicitly. Towards Chinese-English MT, in this paper we describe cross-lingual annotation and alignment of discourse connectives in a parallel corpus, describing related surveys and findings. We then conduct some evaluation experiments to testify the translation of implicit connectives and whether representing implicit connec-tives explicitly in source language can improve the final translation perfor-mance significantly. Preliminary results show it has little improvement by just inserting explicit connectives for implicit relations. |
