摘要：We present a machine translation (MT) system which translates an English sentence into a Bangla sentence of equivalent meaning. We have defined context-free grammars (CFGs) for English simple assertive sentences to discover the syntactic structures of both English and Bangla correct and complete sentences. The CFGs provide the basis for parse rules for rewriting the syntactic structures during bottom-up parsing. A bi-lingual dictionary provides the morphological properties and contextual information of the English words with their corresponding Bangla meaning. The proposed MT system requires transferring English language structure to the corresponding Bangla language structure with an approximate lexical meaning mapping (ALMM) of the English words. The system incorporates a module to verify the accuracy of the constructed Bangla sentence, and allows manual refinement if required. We have implemented a prototype of this system, and have applied to a large number of simple assertive sentences, which shows promising results.
