Carroll, J., A. Copestake, D. Flickinger and V. Poznanski (1999) `An efficient chart generator for (semi-)lexicalist grammars'. In Proceedings of the 7th European Workshop on Natural Language Generation, Toulouse, France. 86-95.
We describe a generator for rule-based grammars which are primarily lexicalist but may introduce some semantics via constructions. By combining chart generation with a treatment of modification by adjunction, we obtain substantial performance improvements over standard lexically-driven chart-generation.
