FUF and SURGE: NLG system based on Functional Unification
Grammar
areas/nlp/nlg/fuf/
This directory contains FUF and SURGE. FUF is a natural language
generation system based on the formalism of functional unification
grammars. SURGE is a large grammar for FUF with a very good coverage
of English syntax. SURGE is inspired by systemic grammars [Halliday
1985] and HPSG. A user manual and numerous examples are included.
Also included is a copy of Elhadad's thesis, which provides
detailed information on the design of FUF and the only documentation
available on the SURGE grammar.
