This paper presents a mechanism of resolving unidentified lexical units in Text-based Machine Translation (TBMT). In a Machine Translation (MT) system it is unlikely to have a complete lexicon and hence there is intense need of a new…

Combining the representations of the words that make up a sentence into a cohesive whole is difficult, since it needs to account for the order of words, and to establish how the words present relate to each other. The solution we propose…
