2 Translation of Telegraphic Messages
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Telegraphic messages contain many instances of phrases with omission, cf. (Grishman, 1989), as in (1). This introduces a greater degree of syntactic ambiguities than for texts without any omitted element, thereby posing a new challenge to parsing.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> TU-95 destroyed 220 nm. (~ An aircraft TU-95 was destroyed at 220 nautical miles) Syntactic ambiguity and the resultant misparse induced by such an omission often leads to a mistranslation in a machine translation system, such as the one described in (Weinstein et ai., 1996), which is depicted in Figure 1.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> The system depicted in Figure 1 has a language understanding module TINA, (Seneff, 1992), and a language generation module</Paragraph>
