Abstract :
In this paper, the problem of bitext alignment as the main stage of a parallel corpus composition is addressed. Three automatic alignment algorithms are chosen for evaluation in their program implementations. Bitexts for the alignment are composed of a total of 736 sentence pairs (28,303 words) from English fiction texts and their corresponding translations. Automatic alignment of the chosen bitexts is performed and evaluated. The results of the aligners´ performance are summarized and discussed.
