CHOICE OF WORDS IN THE GENERATION PROCESS OF A NATURAL LANGUAGE INTERFACE

Pages 117-132 | Published online: 23 Mar 2007
 

Abstract

In this paper we present our approach to language generation focusing on the choice of words. We demonstrate the requirements for a generator that is successfully integrated with a complete natural language system. A basic word-mapping method for primitive relations of the semantic representation language is outlined that can be relied on if no specific realization is available for the system. Information chunking and tailoring of the word choice according to the specific circumstances are presented, stressing the extension to the most general coverage for each specific instance. In particular, the influence of the scope of quantifiers on the choice of words and syntactic relations is pointed out.
