Although conventional compilers frequently apply optimization techniques in the generation of target code, some current incremental compilers do not support commonly used optimizations. This work extends the concept of incremental compilation to fine-grained, high-quality target code generation. The proposed incremental code generator changes only the affected target code and register allocatio...

Using data from ellipsis as evidence, this talk argues that a grammar formalism for natural languages should both articulate the process of building up interpretation in real time, and be sensitive to contextually provided information. Almost every natural language expression displays some form of context dependence. This is most obvious with anaphora and tense construal, but the effects go muc...
