The field of machine translation (MT) -- the automation of translation                  between human languages -- has existed for more than fifty years. MT helped to usher                  in the field of computational linguistics and has influenced methods and                  applications in knowledge representation, information theory, and mathematical                  statistics.This valuable resource offers the most historically significant                  English-language articles on MT. The book is organized in three sections. The                  historical section contains articles from MT's beginnings through the late 1960s.                  The second section, on theoretical and methodological issues, covers sublanguage and                  controlled input, the role of humans in machine-aided translation, the impact of                  certain linguistic approaches, the transfer versus interlingua question, and the                  representation of meaning and knowledge. The third section, on system design, covers                  knowledge-based, statistical, and example-based approaches to multilevel analysis                  and representation, as well as computational issues.
