Building Natural Language Generation Systems
Ehud Reiter, University of Aberdeen
Robert Dale,  Macquarie University, Sydney

This book explains how to build Natural Language Generation (NLG)
systems--computer software systems that automatically generate
understandable texts in English or other human languages.  NLG systems
use knowledge about language and the application domain to
automatically produce documents, reports, explanations, help messages,
and other kinds of texts. The book covers the algorithms and
representations needed to perform the core tasks of document planning,
microplanning, and surface realization, using a case study to show how
these components fit together. It is essential reading for
researchersinterested in NLP, AI, and HCI; and for developers
interested in advanced document-creation technology.

Architectures and Mechanisms for Language Processing

Editors
Matthew W. Crocker, University of Edinburgh
Martin Pickering, University of Glasgow
Charles Clifton, Jr., University of Massachusetts, Amherst

The architectures and mechanisms underlying language processing form
one important part of the general structure of cognition. This book,
written by leading experts in the field, brings together linguistic,
psychological, and computational perspectives on some of the
fundamental issues.  Several general introductory chapters offer
overviews on important psycholinguistic research frameworks and
highlight both shared assumptions and controversial issues.Subsequent
chapters explore syntactic and lexical mechanisms, the interaction of
syntax and semantics in language understanding, and the implications
for cognitive architecture.
