Resumen de NETS, quando la traduzione assistita dal calcolatore incontra la linguistica
The word serendipity means "to make discoveries, by accident and sagacity, of things not in quest" (wikipedia, 2006). There's some serendipity in the NETS history. NETS (Network Enhanced Translators' Software) was implemented as a tool to aid and speed up the translators' job: it can split each text in segments and record every segment and its translation. The very first time I saw the 6406 segments (dirty result) in Source Language - Target Language pairs I thought of parallel corpora. In this presentation I'll describe NETS (in user's and programmer's perspectives) and its potentiality in linguistic (and lexicographic) perspective.
