On Parallel Link (Ver.2.0): Interface, Search Functions and Research Applications

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce the concrete interface, various on-board corpora, search functions, implemented statistical processing, and expected applications of Parallel Link (Ver. 2.0), an analysis tool for Japanese-English and English-Japanese parallel corpora that has finally been completed. In particular, four new parallel corpora, BSD, Coursera, Hiragana Times, and JENAAD, have been added to the database, bringing the total number of parallel corpora to 13 and increasing its volume by around 1.3 times. An overview of these added corpora, as well as those to be added in the future, will be presented in detail. The new functions added in Ver. 2.0, such as the context display function, the distribution graph function for each corpus of collocations, the voice function, and the Google Translate link function, will also be introduced.
