Parenthetical constructions: an argument against modularity

Year: 2009
Type: conference-paper
Abstract: This paper presents an argument against modularizing linguistic information in natural language generation systems. We argue that complex linguistic constructions require grammatical information to be located in the same module, in order to avoid over-complicating the system architecture. We demonstrate this point by showing how parenthetical constructions --- which have only been generated in previous systems using an aggregation or revision module --- can be generated by a surface realizer when using an integrated grammar.
