Hans-Ulrich Block
In our system , in some cases the smallest chunk obtainable via the marker-based segmentation process may be something like ( 27 ) : ( 27 ) <DET> the good man : le bon homme In such cases , if our system were confronted with a good man , it would not be able to translate such a phrase , assuming this to be missing from the marker lexicon . Accordingly , we convert examples such as ( 27 ) into their generalized equivalents , as in ( 28 ) : ( 28 ) <DET> good man : bon homme That is , where Block ( 2000 ) substitutes variables for various words in his templates , we replace certain lexical items with their marker tag . Given that examples such as '` <DET> a : un '' are likely to exist in the word-level lexicon , they may be inserted at the point indicated by the marker tag to form the correct translation un bon homme .
