In the absence of any information regarding the information structure of a sentence (i.e., topic, focus, background, etc.), the constituents of the sentence obey a default order, but the order is almost freely changeable, depending on the constraints of the text flow or discourse. We have used a recursively structured finite state machine for handling the changes in constituent order, implemented as a right-linear grammar backbone. Our implementation environment is the GenKit system, developed at Carnegie Mellon University-Center for Machine Translation. Morphological realization has been implemented using an external morphological analysis/generation component which performs concrete morpheme selection and handles morphographemic processes.135 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessNatural Language GenerationFree Constituent Order LangiuigeRealizationGrammar TheoryP98 .H35 1996Computational linguistics.Linguistics--Data processing.Systemic grammar.Text processing (Computer science)ThesisBILKUTUPB035231
