</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> By using the saturation lattices to guide its micro,planning process and control its choice * of mappings from conceptual objects to. linguistic resources, this system can readily produce the long, syntactically elaborate texts that a common in commercial news sources (after all, the parser has virtually laid down a template for the generator to follow), and by being trained on the appropriate corpus i t can do so using thestyle that is natural to the genre. The macro-planner can freely rearrange or factor * the information that the parser read when it goes to generated new texts, but it will be unable to violate the norms of how that information is expressed simply *because it will be uSing no source other than the saturation lattices to make the final realization decisions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> These sub-categ0ry saturation lattices are(to my knowledge) a new representational device, one that permits us to make use of the knowledge of how particular types of information are expressed that any parser implicitly deploys. As implemented , the process of annotating the nodes is a completely automatic side-effect of incrementally indexing the information contained in partial phrases during the course of a parse. Because the process is ubiquitous and covers all the particular facts Ideg that are acquired from the reading (and these are all the facts the system knows), the planning that is done during generation is freed from needing to worry about fine-grained details, is assured that its text plans will be expressible, and can concentrate on the substantive issues of what particulars to include and where to place the *emphasis.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Finally, this approach may lead us to a psycholinguistic model of how it is that people so readily adapt their style of writing or speaking to the patterns what they have recently heard or read.</Paragraph>
