Lexical selection is the task of choosing, given several source-language (SL) translations with the same part-of-speech (POS), the most adequate translation among them in the target language (TL). The task is related to the task of word-sense disambiguation. The difference is that its aim is to find the most adequate translation, not the most adequate sense. Thus, it is not necessary to choose between a series of fine-grained senses if all these senses result in the same final translation.

Transfer rule approach (2009)

You can make transfer rules that does lexical selection. Its not very elegant but it works, to a degree. The drawback is that you:

  • get big transfer files
  • mix transfer and lexical selection
  • must write rules

This is the method used in most pairs.
