Representing conceptual and linguistic knowledge for multi-lingual generation in a technical domain
Stefan Svenberg · 1994
We report on a head-driven way to generate a language-specific representation for a language-independent conceptual structure. With a grammar oriented towards conceptual rather than phrasal structure, the approach shows some advantages over previous works in head-driven generation. It is particularly suited for multilingual generation systems where language-independent representations and processes should be maintained to a maximum extent. We briefly sketch the architecture of our Genie system based on some results of an analysis of a technical manual for a gearbox.
