an example (cont'd)

It may be worthwhile to examine some of the intermediate results of the generation process. To keep the protocol as readable as possible some of the details have been omitted. A version with less omissions which gives more details about the annotated syntax graph formed by Constituent is in the Appendix.

Step 0:
(DescribeS I-EinführenKameratrokar :as :NP-elliptic)

Step 1:
(Sentences (DescribeS #
:BY t-consecutiveProcesses
:AS :NP-elliptic))

The original ToDescribe form is replaced by the one defined by the semantic function t-consecutiveProcesses.

Step 2:
(GOV-CONSTITUENT
   (AGGREGATION COREDAGGOBJ
      (DESCRIBES #
         :BY T-HANDLING :AS :NP)))
      (DESCRIBES #
         :BY T-HANDLING :AS :NP)))
      (DESCRIBES #
         :BY T-HANDLING :AS :NP))))
      :ELLIPSIS-NP T))

Now this definition is expanded. In order to describe a process as :NP-elliptic all descriptions of the subprocesses are generated as :NP's and these descriptions are then aggregated by conjunction reduction (if applicable).

Step 3:
(GOV-CONSTITUENT
   (AGGREGATION COREDAGGOBJ
      (NOUN-PHRASE :NOUN (MAKENOUN "anheben")
         :ATTRIBUTE (NOUN-PHRASE
         :NOUN "Bauchdecke"
         :PRONOUN:DEFINITE :CASE 2)
         :SUPPLEMENT (NOUN-PHRASE
            :NOUN (NOUN-PHRASE :NOUN "Backhausklemme"
               :NUMERAL "zwei")
            :PREPOSITION "mit"))))
         (NOUN-PHRASE
            :NOUN (MAKENOUN "einführen")
            :ATTRIBUTE (NOUN-PHRASE :NOUN "Kameratrokar"
            :PRONOUN :DEFINITE :CASE 2))))
         (NOUN-PHRASE :NOUN (MAKENOUN "einbringen")
            :ATTRIBUTE             (NOUN-PHRASE :NOUN "Optik"
             :PRONOUN :DEFINITE :CASE 2)))))
            :ELLIPSIS-NP T))
The respective definitions for the subprocesses are now expanded, basically giving noun phrase expressions.
