Generating from a deep structure
Claire Gardent, Agnès Plainfossé · 1990
Noncanonical semantic representations are representations which cannot be derived by some grammar G although they are semantically equivalent to representations which can be derived by G. This paper presents a generation algorithm which deals with noncanonical input. The proposed approach also enhances portability and language independence in that (i) linguistic decisions made by independent modules (e.g., planner, transfer component) can be communicated to the generator in a natural way and (ii) the same algorithm coupled with different grammars will yield sentences in the corresponding languages.
