The nondirectional representation of Systemic Functional Grammars and semantics as typed feature structures
John A. Bateman, Martin Emele, Stefan Momma · 1992
A small fragment of the Systemic Functional Grammar of the PENMAN system is reformulated in the Typed Feature Structure language. Through this reformulation we gain full reversibility for the SFG description and access for unification-based grammar descriptions to the rich semantic levels of description that SFG supports. We illustrate this reformulation with respect to both generation and semantic analysis and set out the future goals for research this result establishes.
