Bilingual production models put forward by Hartsuiker, Pickering, and Veltkamp (2004) and Pickering and Hartsuiker (2008) therefore assume that bilinguals share syntactic structures… read more
2018 How do students cope with machine translation output of multiword units? An exploratory study Multiword Units in Machine Translation and Translation Technology, Mitkov, Ruslan, Johanna Monti, Gloria Corpas Pastor and Violeta Seretan (eds.), pp. 61–80 | Chapter
In this chapter, we take a closer look at students’ post-editing of multiword units (MWUs) from English into Dutch.
