초록

This study explores the basic concepts and research trends of PEMT (pre-editing and machine translation), and its application in related industries. Although academic and practical attention has been focused on MTPE (machine translation and post-editing), PEMT is also worth exploring as it aims to improve the quality of source text (ST) which can in turn affect that of target text (TT). PEMT simplifies the original text and clarifies unclear representations, making it easier for computers to understand. Most previous studies so far have revealed the quality and effective use of PEMT, supporting its significant impact on the quality and efficiency of machine translation. In translation practice, PEMT is widely used and mainly takes three forms: entrancement of ST expression, grammar, and terminology; production of ST in controlled languages; and technical writing that can improve of the quality of TT by making ST machine-translatable. Given the importance of PEMT, further in-depth research and practical efforts based on developments to date are required to ultimately improve the quality of machine translation.
