GENERATING NONINTENTIONAL SEMANTICALLY-CORRECT ENGLISH SENTENCES IN AN OBJECT-ORIENTED ENVIRONMENT

When a human being is constructing a sentence, he/she chooses words th at not only ensure syntactical integrity but also satisfy semantic and in most cases contextual constraints, The system developed here mimic s the way humans form sentences. In our approach a sentence is generat ed as a chain of words satisfying a number of semantic, syntactic and contextual constraints concurrently. This chaining process ensures the compatibility of different components and results in a cohesive and u nambiguous sentence. The static lexical and structural objects which c ontain both semantic and syntactic knowledge interact with dynamically created objects which contain contextual knowledge in or;fer to const ruct the word and phrase objects which ultimately constitute the sente nce.
