Seuren.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.Empirical approaches to linguistic theory ;Volume 11.SemanticsGrammar, Comparative and generalSyntaxGenerative grammarSemantics.Grammar, Comparative and generalSyntax.Generative grammar.415.01/822Seuren Pieter A.
