Systemic Functional Grammar in Natural Language Generation

Systemic Functional Grammar in Natural Language Generation

This volume deals with the computational application of systemic functional grammar (SFG) for natural language generation. In particular, it describes the implementation of a fragment of the grammar of German in the computational framework of KOMET-PENMAN for multilingual generation. The text also presents a specification of explicit well-formedness constraints on syntagmatic structure which are defined in the form of typed feature structures. It thus achieves a model of systemic functional grammar that unites both the strengths of systemics, such as stratification, functional diversification.

The consistent interplay between theoretical and applied pursuits has always been a defining feature of systemic functional theory … This kind of mutual enrichment is clearly demonstrated in Alice Caffarel’s work. The result is a description which penetrates to the heart of the language, revealing it at one and the same time as a specimen of the human semiotic and a unique resource for the continuous creation of meaning.’. Professor M A K Halliday, from the Preface.
