(Philip Resnik, Computational Linguistics, 27:04)"Publisher Marketing: With the rising importance of multilingualism in language industries, brought about by global markets and world-wide information exchange, parallel corpora, that is, corpora of texts accompanied by their translation, have become key resources in the development of natural language processing tools. The applications based upon parallel corpora are numerous and growing in number: for example, multilingual lexicography and terminology, machine and human translation, cross-language information retrieval, and language learning.
