MT at Grenoble in 1990 General presentation

This presentation has been prepared for ROCLing-III, as a support for a tutorial and a lecture. The tutorial is concerned by the current state of the art in classical MT and Text Encoding, as exen1plified by the results of a long term research effort started in Grenoble almost 30 years ago. The lecture is dedicated to the presentation of a new framework for MT, personal MT, and of the new potentialities and problems it offers. In particular, the text encoding problem presents interesting new aspects in personal MT. The written support consists in four documents, three for the tutorial and one for the lecture, which are briefly summarized below.
