Design of <strong>Arabic</strong> <strong>to</strong> <strong>English</strong> <strong>machine</strong> translation<br />

system based on RRG<br />

The UniArab system is a natural language processing application based on Role and<br />

Reference Grammar (RRG) <strong>for</strong> translating the <strong>Arabic</strong> language in<strong>to</strong> any other language,<br />

using an interlingua bridge. An interlingua based MT approach <strong>to</strong> translation is done<br />

via an intermediate semantic representation of the source language (Hutchins 2003). The<br />

conceptual architecture of the UniArab system is shown in Figure 5.1. To apply it <strong>to</strong><br />

any other language, we need only change phases 9, 10, 11 and 12. Figure 5.1 will be<br />

discussed in more detail in Chapter 6.<br />
