Abstract

The paper describes an approach to automatically select from Indian Language the appropriate lexical correspondence of English simple preposition. The paper describes this task from a Machine Translation (MT) perspective. We use the properties of the head and complement of the preposition to select the appropriate sense in the target language. We later show that the results obtained from this approach are promising.
