Wright, James R. – 1977
Noam Chomsky's transformational-generative grammar model may effectively be translated into an equivalent computer model. Phrase-structure rules and transformations are tested as to their validity and ordering by the computer via the process of random lexical substitution. Errors appearing in the grammar are detected and rectified, and formal…

A COORDINATION SCHEMA IS DESCRIBED WHICH HAS BEEN INTRODUCED IN THE "MITRE" GRAMMAR. THIS SCHEMA DEALS WITH THE TYPE OF COORDINATION WHERE A SINGLE SENTENCE OF TWO OR MORE CONSTITUENTS ALLOWS FOR A PARAPHRASE OF TWO OR MORE SEPARATE SENTENCES WHICH ARE IDENTICAL IN EVERY RESPECT EXCEPT FOR THE CONJOINABLE MEMBERS. THE NEW APPROACH…

Simmons, R. F.; Slocum, Jonathan – 1970
The system described in this report is designed for use as a computational tool that allows a linguist to develop and study methods for generating surface strings from an underlying semantic structure. Initial findings with regard to form-determiners (such as voice, form, tense, and mood), some rules for embedding sentences, and some attention to…

This report describes work on a pilot system for a fully automatic, high-quality translation of German scientific and technical text into English and gives the results of an experiment designed to show the system's capability to produce quality mechanical translation. The areas considered were: (1) grammar formalism, mainly involving the addition…

PETRICK,S.R. – 1966
A CLASS OF TRANSFORMATION GRAMMARS IS DEFINED AND A COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR SENTENCE ANALYSIS IS DESCRIBED AND DOCUMENTED WITH RESPECT TO THIS CLASS. THE PROGRAM EXISTS IN PURE LISP FORM AND IN MIXED LISP AND IBM 7090 ASSEMBLY LANGUAGE FORM. THE PAPER CONTAINS INFORMATION TO PERMIT THE USER TO WRITE HIS OWN TRANSFORMATIONAL GRAMMAR. COMPUTER PROGRAM…

Friedman, Joyce – 1968
The papers in this volume describe computer runs with six different transformational grammars, in each case using the computer system for transformational grammar described in AL 002 220. They are collected as examples which, it is hoped, will encourage other linguistics to use the system. The motivation for the first three projects described was…

Winograd, Terry – 1971
This paper describes a system for the computer understanding of English. The system answers questions, executes commands, and accepts information in normal English dialogue. It uses semantic information and context to understand discourse and to disambiguate sentences. It combines a complete syntactic analysis of each sentence with a heuristic…
