abstract: >
  A comprehensive research tool for Coptic language analysis combining
  neural machine translation with neural-symbolic dependency parsing.
  The interface provides bidirectional Coptic-English translation using
  fine-tuned MarianMT models, and dependency parsing with Prolog-based
  grammatical validation implementing Walter Till's Coptic Grammar and
  W.E. Crum's Coptic Dictionary. The neural-symbolic architecture detects
  and corrects parsing errors and hallucinations through explicit
  linguistic rules.
