Transformational decomposition
Danuta Hiz, Aravind K. Joshi · 1967
In this paper, we will present a rather simplified description of an algorithm for transformational analysis (decomposition) of English sentences. Our purpose here is not to discuss the transformational theory, the full details of the theoretical formulations of the algorithm, or of the grammar. Rather, we will present a set of examples of the decomposition and some discussion of them with the hope that it will give enough insight into the capability of the algorithm and indicate to some extent the power of transformational analysis.
