Generation of Turkish Noun and Verbal Groups with Systemic Functional Grammar

This paper mainly presents noun and verbal group parts of a Turkish sentence generator to produce the actual text from its semantic description In order to concentrate on text generation rather than text planning we assume that the lexicalized semantic description of the text is produced in some way currently given by hand In the generation we need a linguistic theory to describe linguistic resources and also a software tool to perform them in a computational environment We use a functional linguistic theory called Systemic Functional Grammar SFG to represent linguistic resources and FUF text generation system as a software tool to perform them In this paper we present the systemic functional representation and the realization of noun and verbal groups in Turkish sentences
