Hi Somayeh, on a related discussion recently I posted a pointer to <a
href="http://www.cs.ust.hk/%7Edekai/library/WU_Dekai/nonparallel.html">http://www.cs.ust.hk/~dekai/library/WU_Dekai/nonparallel.html</a>
where you can find an HTML table summarizing the differences between
four different degrees
of (non)parallel corpora, synthesized from some surveys within papers
by
Pascale Fung, including:<br>
<br>
1. parallel corpus<br>
2. noisy parallel corpus<br>
3. comparable corpus<br>
4. quasi-comparable (very-non-parallel) corpus<br>
<br>
