Abstract
AbstractThis chapter focuses on the status of the English language, primarily acting as a benchmark for the level of technological support that other European languages could receive (see Maynard et al. 2022; Ananiadou et al. 2012). While it is rather unlikely that any other European language will ever reach this level, due to the continuing development of support for English, and thus serves as a moving goalpost, nevertheless it provides a good criterion for relative assessment. While the inequalities in the amount of technological support available for English compared with other European languages may act as a deterrent for working on the latter, nevertheless it serves as a useful mechanism for applying cross-lingual transfer methods in order to build language models and generate labelled data for lower resource languages.
