IPF: An Incremental Parallel Formulator
نویسنده
چکیده
A computer simulation model of the human speaker is presented which generates sentences in a piecemeal way. The module responsible for Grammatical Encoding (the tactical component) is discussed in detail. Generation is conceptually and lexically guided and may proceed from the bottom of the syntactic structure upwards as well as from the top downwards. The construction of syntactic structures is based on unification of socalled syntactic segments.

Parallelism in incremental sentence generation
IPF (Incremental Parallel Formulator) is a computer model in which the formulation stage in sentence generation is distributed among a number of parallel processes. Each conceptual fragment which is passed on to the Formulator gives rise to a new process, which attempts to formulate only that fragment and then exits. The task of each formulation process consists basically of instantiating one o...
متن کاملSegment Grammar : a Formalism for Incremental Sentence Generation
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 ...
متن کاملThe Incremental Generation of Passive Sentences
This paper sketches some basic features of the SYNPHONICS account of the computational modelling of incremental language production with the example of the generation of passive sentences. The SYNPHONICS approach aims at linking psycholinguistic insights into the nature of the human natural language production process with well-established assumptions in theoretical and computational linguistic...
متن کاملIncremental Preverbal Messages
1 Introduction, or why preverbal messages are incremental Levelt (1989) proposes a tripartite subdivision of the human language production faculty into conceptualiser, formulator, and ar-ticulator. With this come two major interfaces, which he terms pre-verbal messages (between conceptualiser and formulator) and pho-netic plan (between formulator and articulator). Here, I will investigate , how...
متن کاملIncremental Generation of Self-corrections Using Underspecification
The focus of the present paper is on the interface between the first two components of a language production model, i.e. conceptualiser and formulator. We propose a method of how the incremental input for the formulator can be represented within an underspecification formalism. The proposed method can be used in dynamically changing environments, e.g. an airport supervision and information syst...
