Abstract

This book is an updated version of Dale's 1988 PhD thesis at the University of Edinburgh's Centre for Cognitive Science. It will be of interest to all natural language generation researchers because it serves as a practical guide to the theory and methods of generating referring expressions. The key contributions of this work are the ontology and the algorithms for generating referring expressions.
