Abstract - This paper
describes an ongoing work on building the lexicons for
an object-oriented model for Universal Grammar-based machine
translation. By incorporating the premise that in spite
of idiosyncrasies exhibited in individual languages, there
are uniformities of universal scope, the model houses
information common to all languages in Universal Grammar
components. The Lexicon in Universal Grammar and the lexicons
in individual grammars differ in many respects. While
the indexes of the lexicons of individual languages are
lists of surface forms of words, the index of the Lexicon
in Universal Grammar is a list of meanings or senses.

Abstract - This paper
presents an object-oriented model for machine translation
based on Universal Grammar, the Universal Lexicon and
language-specific grammars and the lexicons, and demonstrates
the internal structures of these linguistic constructs
by following a step-by-step process of English to Japanese
translation. It elucidates what elements are required
in the Universal Lexicon and the lexicons of individual
languages. The present model parses and generates sentences
at three levels of structures: S-structure (Surface Structure),
I-structure (Intermediary Structure) and U-Structure (Universal
Structure). The present paper demonstrates the interaction
of the three levels of structures in the process of translation,
showing how economy and efficiency are achieved by incorporating
the modules of Universal Grammar and the Universal Lexicon
into the model of machine translation. This design makes
each language grammar slim, distinguishing idiosyncrasies
from elements of universal nature.
