In this paper we describe a framework for research into translation that draws on a combination of two existing and independently constructed technologies: an analysis component developed for German by the EUROTRA-D (ET-D) group of IAI and the generation component developed for English by the Penman group at ISI. We present some of the linguistic implications of the research and the promise it bears for furthering understanding of the translation process. | A NEW VIEW ON THE PROCESS OF TRANSLATION John A.

We have described some of the motivations for and the basic organisation of the combined framework in Steiner and Schutz 1988 and Bateman Kasper Schiitz and Steiner 1989 . Here we present in more detail some of the linguistic implications of the research and the promise it bears for furthering understanding of the translation process. Although developed separately and for quite different reasons there is a decisive link between the two components in that ideas from a single linguistic theory systemic-functional linguistics . Halliday 1985 have been incorporated independently in both projects. A partial implementation of the grammatical stratum of organisation found in Systemic Functional Grammar SFG provides the core of Penman s linguistic capabilities Mann and Matthiessen 1985 whereas there is a strong input from SFG in the semantic interpretation of ET-D s dependency structures Steiner Schmidt and Zelinsky-Wibbelt 1988 . It is therefore also one of the motivations of this cooperation .
