“…Non-transformational grammars have the additional advantage of being more easily amenable to incremental production, at least insofar as transformations presuppose syntactic trees that dominate complete sentences. Incremental syntactic generators have indeed been developed on the basis of HPSG (e.g., Neumann andFinkler, 1990 andAbb et al, 1993) and TAG (e.g., Harbusch et al, 1991).…”

In this paper we present a de nition of Performance Grammar (PG), a psycholinguistically motivated syntax formalism, in declarative terms. PG aims not only at describing and explaining intuitive judgments and other data concerning the well-formedness of sentences of a language, but also at contributing to accounts of syntactic processing phenomena observable in language comprehension and language production. We highlight two general properties of human sentence generation, incrementality and late linearization, which make special demands on the design of grammar formalisms claiming psychological plausibility. In order to meet these demands, PG generates syntactic structures in a two-stage process. In the rst and most important 'hierarchical' stage, unordered hierarchical structures ('mobiles') are assembled out of lexical building blocks. The key operation at work here is typed feature uni cation, which also delimits the positional options of the syntactic constituents in terms of so-called topological features. The second, much simpler stage takes care of arranging the branches of the mobile from left to right by 'reading-out' one positional option of every constituent. In this paper we concentrate on the structure assembly formalism in PG's hierarchical component. We provide a declarative de nition couched in an HPSG-style notation based on typed feature uni cation. Our emphasis throughout is on linear order constraints.

Abstract. Natural Language Generation (NLG) is defined as the systematic approach for producing human understandable natural language text based on nontextual data or from meaning representations. This is a significant area which empowers human-computer interaction. It has also given rise to a variety of theoretical as well as empirical approaches. This paper intends to provide a detailed overview and a classification of the state-of-the-art approaches in Natural Language Generation. The paper explores NLG architectures and tasks classed under document planning, micro-planning and surface realization modules. Additionally, this paper also identifies the gaps existing in the NLG research which require further work in order to make NLG a widely usable technology.

“…From a cognitive point of view, an incremental formulator (e.g. Abb, Günther, Herweg, Lebeth, Maienborn & Schopp 1996;De Smedt 1990;Kempen & Hoenkamp 1987) is plausible only in combination with a conceptualizer that produces preverbal messages, which are the interface between conceptualizer and formulator, incrementally.…”

INC (incremental conceptualizer) is a cognitively motivated model of the first component of the language production process, conceptualization. It produces preverbal output for the domain of giving on-line descriptions of events that has the same structure as verbalizations of humans given the same task. The architecture and processing mechanisms of INC are based on simple, cognitively motivated principles. Its behavior is controlled by parameters that are set according to the available resources. Thus, INC requires no explicit and complex instructions about how to perform a given verbalization task, e.g. with respect to the level of detail, because the level of detail is an effect that depends on resources.
