Coherence in machine translation output Abadou Fadila, Khadich Saleh.

Abstract EN

Coherence plays a key role in argumentation and thematic progression.

To be characterised by appropriate coherence relations and structured in a logical manner, coherent discourse/text should have a context and a focus.

The present research paper is interested, first, in capturing the different aspects of coherence, and second, in introducing this notion in texts generated by machine translation based on sentence-by-sentence basis, in order to see and discuss the several phenomena that can lead to incoherent document translations with different language pairs.
