Segment Grammar : a Formalism for Incremental Sentence Generation
نویسندگان
چکیده
Incremental sentence generation imposes special constraints on the representation of the grammar and the design of the formulator (the module which is responsible for constructing the syntactic and morphological structure). In the model of natural speech production presented here, a formalism called Segment Grammar is used for the representation of linguistic knowledge. We give a definition of this formalism and present a formulator design which relies on it. Next, we present an objectoriented implementation of Segment Grammar. Finally, we compare Segment Grammar with other formalisms. 330 De Smedt and Kempen

Segment Grammar
Incremental sentence generation imposes special constraints on the representation of the grammar and the design of the formulator (the module which is responsible for constructing the syntactic and morphological structure). In the model of natural speech production presented here, a formalism called Segment Grammar (SG; Kempen, 1987) is used for the representation of linguistic knowledge. One b...
متن کاملBidirectional Incremental Generation and Analysis with Categorial Grammar and Indexed Quasi-Logical Form
We describe an approach to surface generation designed for a "pragmatics-based" dialogue system. The implementation has been extended to deal with certain well-known difficulties with the underlying linguistic formalism (Categorial Grammar) at the same time yielding a system capable of supporting incremental generation as well as interpretation. Aspects of the formalism used for the initial des...
متن کاملIncremental Parsing, Or Incremental Grammar?
Standard grammar formalisms are defined without reflection of the incremental and serial nature of language processing, and incrementality must therefore be reflected by independently defined parsing and/or generation techniques. We argue that this leads to a poor setup for modelling dialogue, with its rich speaker-hearer interaction, and instead propose context-based parsing and generation mod...
متن کاملFeature Unification in TAG Derivation Trees
The derivation trees of a tree adjoining grammar provide a first insight into the sentence semantics, and are thus prime targets for generation systems. We define a formalism, feature-based regular tree grammars, and a translation from feature based tree adjoining grammars into this new formalism. The translation preserves the derivation structures of the original grammar, and accounts for feat...
متن کاملIncremental Semantics Driven Natural Language Generation with Self-Repairing Capability
This paper presents the on-going development of a model of incremental semantics driven natural language generation (NLG) for incremental dialogue systems. The approach is novel in its tight integration of incremental goal-driven semantics and syntactic construction, utilizing Type Theory with Records (TTR) record types for goal concepts as its input and the grammar formalism Dynamic Syntax (DS...
