Figure 4.10: Interlingua model of <strong>Arabic</strong> MT<br />

4.7. SUMMARY<br />

For the elements of subject(S), verb(V) and object(O), <strong>Arabic</strong>’s relatively free word order<br />

allows the combinations of SVO, VSO and VOS. The only combinations that do not<br />

occur in <strong>Arabic</strong> are OSV and SOV. <strong>Arabic</strong>’s flexible word order is discussed later in this<br />

research. Our research develops a rule-based and lexical <strong>framework</strong> <strong>for</strong> the processing of<br />

<strong>Arabic</strong> using the Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) linguistic model. The <strong>framework</strong><br />

is <strong>to</strong> be evaluated using a <strong>machine</strong> translation system that translates an <strong>Arabic</strong> text as<br />

source language in<strong>to</strong> an <strong>English</strong> text as target language.<br />
