Resumo

There have been various results in English-to-Korean Machine Translation reported, but so far no attention has been paid to the problems of lexical transfer of pronominal anaphors and/or resolving pronominal reference and a default pronoun translation has been considered instead. In this paper we argue that pronouns cannot be handled trivially in English-to-Korean translation and one cannot bypass the task of resolving anaphoric reference if aiming at good and natural translation. In addition, we propose practical transfer rules for English-to-Korean anaphora translation and outline an anaphora resolution model for an English-to-Korean MT system in operation.
