Abstract:
Universal Networking Language (UNL) is a declarative formal language that is used to represent semantic data extracted from
natural language texts. This paper presents a novel approach to converting Bangla natural language text into UNL using a
method known as Predicate Preserving Parser (PPP) technique. PPP performs morphological, syntactic and semantic, and lexical
analysis of text synchronously. This analysis produces a semantic-net like structure represented using UNL. We demonstrate how Bangla texts are analyzed following the PPP technique to produce UNL documents which can then be translated into any other suitable natural language facilitating the opportunity to develop a universal language translation method via UNL.
