Clause restructuring in EnglishSwedish translation

Medium rank clauses, such as participial and infinitival clauses, have been shown in earlier studies to be more frequent in English than in Swedish. In-stead Swedish prefers complete, finite clauses. This constitutes a problem for English-Swedish machine translation. Here I report a study of such construc-tions using the LinES Parallel Treebank. I also show how the dependency annotation in LinES can be used to define clauses of different ranks.
