| dc.description.abstract | English is the main lingua franca for the international scientific dialogue. However, several studies show that a lesser command of English is a factor of exclusion for many non-native researchers. In medicine, English competence robustly predicts chances of publication in leading journals – with a predictive weight that surpasses total financial investment in research. Non-native researchers often turn to free online neural machine translation tools (NMT) to spare the additional temporal and financial costs imposed by journals’ expectation that submissions are “proofread by a native speaker”. However, general NMT cannot account for the specificities of German academic texts: terminology (i.e. German ad hoc compounding, frequent neologisms, popular "German" terms existing parallel to scientific Greco-latin terms), syntax (i.e. presenting constructions, grammatical subjects and rhematized long subjects) and hedging (i.e. German modal verbs) are the three main issues. By fine-tuning a state-of-the-art neural machine translation system on specific academic corpora, we hope to tackle these issues and to compare which errors were corrected and which were not. Such a domain specific approach could be adopted by institutions to train in-house systems and become a standard tool provided by the institution to their researchers like any other intern application. | de_CH |
