@TECHREPORT{AICPub1421:1975, AUTHOR={Slocum, Jonathan}, TITLE={Speech Generation from Semantic Nets}, ADDRESS={333 Ravenswood Ave, Menlo Park, CA 94025}, INSTITUTION={AI Center, SRI International}, MONTH={Sept}, NUMBER={115}, YEAR={1975}, KEYWORDS={Natural Language, Verbs}, ABSTRACT={Natural language output can be generated from semantic nets by processing templates associated with concepts in the net. A set of verb templates is being derived from a study of the surface syntax of some 3000 English verbs: the active forms of the verbs have been classified according to subject, object(s), and complement(s); these syntactic patterns, augmented with case names, are used as a grammar to control the generation of text.}, NOTE={Presented at the 13th Annual Meeting of the Association for Computational Linguistics, Boston, MA, October 30-November 1, 1975.} }
