TY - JOUR TI - The Role of Semantic Inheritance in Machine Translation AU - Hrabia, Michał TI - The Role of Semantic Inheritance in Machine Translation AB - The aim of this paper is to present the role of the semantic inheritance in the one of the linguistic models for machine translation – the object-oriented approach by Wiesław Banyś. In the first part, the author outlines the general concepts of the theory and provides several examples of its application in the disambiguation process. The second part is fully focused on the question of the hierarchy of object classes and the semantic inheritance of attributes and operations. In fact, it is precisely thanks to the hierarchy postulated in the theory that the linguistic description becomes effective and fully applicable in computer systems.  VL - Volume 18 (2018) IS - Volume 18, Issue 3 PY - 2018 SN - 1732-8705 C1 - 2084-3917 SP - 135 EP - 145 DO - 10.4467/20843917RC.18.015.9587 UR - https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/romanica-cracoviensia/article/le-role-de-lheritage-semantique-dans-la-traduction-automatique KW - object class KW - disambiguation KW - semantic inheritance KW - machine translation
