Abstract

The analysis of human-generated utterances reveals that not only the linguistic (i.e. discourse) context but also the physical context and the user profile of the hearer should be considered when aiming at 'natural' language generation (NLG) embedded in a real-life situation. We propose a framework that allows for annotating the propositional content of sentences to be generated along these three dimensions of context and illustrate this with concrete examples. The context of our research is the COMRIS project, where text is generated for output on a wearable device (parrot).
