For language generation from such abstract representations, lexicalization is taken as the central step: when choosing words that cover the various parts of the content representation, the principal decisions on conveying the intended meaning are made. A preference mechanism is used to construct the utterance that is best tailored to parameters representing the context. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eLexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in Multilingual Text\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGeneration\u003c\/em\u003e develops the means for systematically deriving a set of paraphrases from the same underlying representation with the emphasis on events and verb meaning. Furthermore, the same mapping mechanism is used to achieve multilingual generation: English and German output are produced in parallel, on the basis of an adequate division between language-neutral and language-specific (lexical and grammatical) knowledge. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cem\u003eLexical Semantics and Knowledge Representation in Multilingual Text\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cem\u003eGeneration\u003c\/em\u003e provides detailed insights into designing the representations and organizing the generation process. Readers with a background in artificial intelligence, cognitive science, knowledge representation, linguistics, or natural language processing will find a model of language production that can be adapted to a variety of purposes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Manfred Stede\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0792384199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780792384199\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Springer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/31\/1999\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 219\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.14lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.50h x 6.38w x 0.77d","brand":"Manfred Stede","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44227541729535,"sku":"9780792384199","price":169.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0df75497-4a2e-4d84-b912-7f30dcaf5f06.jpg?v=1692809246","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lexical-semantics-and-knowledge-representation-manfred-stede-9780792384199","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
