(2012) Epistemology versus ontology, Dordrecht, Springer.
This paper gives an introduction to automatic translation via examples from the history of the field, where statistical and grammar-based methods alternate. Grammatical Frameword (GF) is introduced as an approach that uses type theory to provide high-quality translation between multiple languages. GF translation is fundamentally grammar-based but can be combined with statistical methods such as learning translation models from a corpus and ranking translation candidates by probabilities.
