Abstract:

This book presents a detailed formal machinery for the conversion of the
Semantic Analyses (SAs) of sentences into surface structures of English,
French, German, Dutch, and to some extent Turkish. The SAs are propositional
structures consisting of a predicate and one, two or three argument terms,
some of which can themselves be propositional structures. The surface
structures are specified up to, but not including, the morphology. The book is
thus an implementation of the programme formulated first by Albert Sechehaye
(1870-1946) and then, independently, by James McCawley (1938-1999) in the
school of Generative Semantics. It is the first, and so far the only formally
precise and empirically motivated machinery in existence converting meaning
representations into sentences of natural languages.
