Pervasive Words. Eliminating Language Barriers via Machine-Aided Translation (MAT) Software

      Аннотация: This book contains the translation of pervasive words via Machine-aided Translation (MAT) software. Assisted by Globse.com, MyMemory, Easyhindityping, TagalogTranslate.com, and Google.com, words like community lockdown, frontline worker, health and safety protocol, home quarantine, pandemic to endemic disease, and social distancing were provided local meanings in Filipino and linguistically analyzed in terms of the relationship between language structure and use. The sociolinguistic framework employed the analysis and conceptualization of meanings from the fields of diglossia, orthography, phonology, and morphology involving two languages (English and Filipino) which were used in different conditions.
