Random Generation Of Czech Sentences

The experiments testing the theoretical adequacy and the practical usefulness of the Functional Generative Description (FGD) are described. The FGD consists of a generative component, which, in the experimental version, has the shape of a context-free grammar combined with elements of dependency approach, and the other components having the form of pushdown store automata. The latter components have a transductive role, transducing the semantie Ctectogrammatical) representations of sentences to the lower levels of the language system. The transduction is articulated into several steps corresponding more or less to the levels of language system Csurface syntax, morphemics, morphophonemics, phonemics, or, as the case may be, graphemics) postulated in European structural linguistics. The theoretical and practical qualities of the system are evaluated.
