Extended Functional Unification ProGrammars

TL;DR: This paper describes the different types of cross-references that COMET (COordinated Multimedia Explanation Testbed) generates and shows the roles that both its text and graphics generators play in this process.

TL;DR: This research stresses the dynamic generation of the content and form of all material presented, addressing issues in the generation of text and graphics, and in coordinating text and Graphics in an integrated presentation.

TL;DR: It is claimed that order of decision making in FUG through unification allows for flexible interaction between constraints, which, in turn, allows for a more concise representation of constraints.

TL;DR: The representational devices used in the Nigel grammar are surveyed and the representational issues that they raise in relation to systemic theory are diagnosed in the light of the metafunctional differentiation of systemic theory.

TL;DR: This book is an investigation into the problems of generating natural language utterances to satisfy specific goals in the speaker's mind and is thus an ambitious and significant contribution to research on language generation in artificial intelligence.

TL;DR: The paper discusses the linguistic aspects of a new general purpose facility for computing with features, the new Texas version of the "DG (directed graph)" package, primarily intended for representing morphological and syntactic information but it may turn out to be very useful for semantic representations too.

TL;DR: The nature of the feature systems used in augmented phrase-structure grammar formalisms, in particular those of recent versions of generalized phrase structure grammar, lexical functional grammar and PATRI1, are elucidated using Dana Scott 's domain theory, and an operation of feature generalization is found that can be used to give a partial account of the effect of coordination on syntactic features.
