ABSTRACT

I have worked in the language industry for more than twenty years, much of that time helping to develop LogoVista EtoJ, machine translation software that translates English text to Japanese text (LogoVista, 2009). My contribution has been on the English side of things, helping to build an enormous, richly annotated dictionary of English and augmenting the very robust grammar of English used by its parser. This work has given me a tremendous appreciation for the vastness of human language and the mind that makes sense of it.
