.... the Information Technology Research Institute at the University of Brighton has a group working on the automatic drafting of multilingual instructional technical texts in the context of GIST (Generating InStructional Text) part of the European Union s LRE program (Delin, Hartley, et al. 1994; Paris Scott, 1994). These projects eliminate the problem of determining the intended interpretation of a piece of input text in differing degrees. In the second and third cases, there is still intentional material in the input but the idea in each case is to shift the emphasis from determining the intentions behind ....

Another promising area is speech act (dialogue move) tagging, where, for example, researchers have tested whether an automatic tagger trained on the tagged corpus can improve the performance of a speech recognizer with tag specific language models (Taylor et al. 1996) and whether an induced ....

.... generation, the most important notion being that of contrastive knowledge a term which is to be made more precise below (Section 4) We will argue that it is not sufficient to state contrastive linguistic knowledge in terms of the language systems under consideration alone a point also made by [Paris and Scott, 1994]. Rather, the crucial question that has to be dealt with in modelling multilingual communication (of which multilingual generation is another token) is: How do different languages employ their linguistic systems to construe meaning according to particular situational and cultural contexts 2 ....

....instance of SHIP, which is a domain model entity. 2.3 Analyzing instructional text 2.3.1 Paris and Scott Paris and Scott, who have been conducting work on generating multilingual instructions, insist that computational systems should be able to generate the variations found in texts. Their paper (Paris and Scott, 1994) is one step in this direction. In this study, Paris and Scott described different ways, or stances, in which instruction manuals can convey information: Information provision Factual knowledge is provided which augments the reader s knowledge of the artifact or the task.

....taken together, they offer a real prospect of adequate control over the output of a text generator. 9 Related Work The results from our linguistic analysis are consistent with other research on sublanguages in the instructions domain, in both French and English, e.g. Kosseim and Lapalme1994, Paris and Scott1994] Our analysis goes beyond previous work by identifying within the discourse context the means for exercising explicit control over a text generator. An interesting difference with respect to previous descriptions is the use of the true (or direct) imperative to express an action in the procedure ....

....previous work by identifying within the discourse context the means for exercising explicit control over a text generator. An interesting difference with respect to previous descriptions is the use of the true (or direct) imperative to express an action in the procedure genre, as results from [Paris and Scott1994] seem to indicate that the infinitive form of the imperative is preferred in French. These results, however, were obtained from a corpus of instructions mostly for domestic appliances as opposed to software manuals. Furthermore the use of the infinitive form in instructions in general as observed ....
