An empirical framework for translating of Phrasal verbs of English sentence into Bangla

Abstract

Generally phrasal verbs comprise a verb followed by a preposition that is commonly occurring feature in English. Each of the phrasal verbs acquires absolutely different meanings in different contexts. Having highly context dependent meanings, phrasal verbs may be disambiguated only by devising a technique involving utilization of semantic information pertaining to the context. This paper presented a framework for translating the phrasal verbs in English sentence into its equivalent Bangla. Semantics is necessary in the field of natural language processing to detect the meaning of the individual words in the sentence. This paper also describes different types of semantic features that perform semantic based disambiguation of phrasal verbs. A translation engine works to find out the exact Bangla meaning of the phrasal verb from different English sentences. We have tested our model for different type of English sentences containing phrasal verbs that are taken from the English newspaper and English textbook. We got successful results for most of the test cases.
