9 CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The first concise presentation of systemic suggestions was published when what came to be called ACL was being formed.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Now, roughly twenty years later, with the first meeting of the European chapter of ACL we can look back on substantial achievements in both computational linguistics and systemic hnguistics, some of them in co-operation.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> However, the most exciting developments are current and future. We can see the most ambitious applications of systemic linguistics to computational tasks to date. And we can see the growing interest in text generation, a task in the context of which systemic linguistics seems to have much to offer.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> Here I have.pointed to some properties and designs that come from the systemic tradition and which I think are of interest for the text generation task. Systemic linguists have done and are still doing pioneer work on text organization, turning up insights that will most certainly be important to the design of text generators. However, here.I have concentrated on contributions in the area of grammar and choosers for grammar with a view to showing how they help us fulfill the demands place on a grammar in a text generator. I have focused on the factoring of the sentence generation process that systemic grammar supports.</Paragraph>
