Sublanguage engineering in the FoG system
Richard I. Kittredge, Myunghee Kim, Eli Goldberg, Alain Polguère · 1994
FoG currently produces bilingual marine and public weather forecasts at several Canadian weather offices. The system is engineered to reflect "good professional style" as found in human forecasts. However, some regularization and simplification of the output has been needed. Sublanguage engineering issues include trade-offs in coverage and style, handling variation and evolution of sublanguages, "legislating" lexical semantics and assuring a langguage model able to accomodate new text types and support spoken output.
