Abstract

This paper describes a system for automatic sentence synthesis (or “generation”) from semantic representations. The system is implemented in Interlisp as an extension of D-PATR, Lauri Karttunen's environment for the development of unification-based grammars (see Karttunen 1986, Carlson & Linden 1987).
