4.6. GENERATION
In a transfer system, the generation phase is generally divided into two parts, syntac-
tic generation and morphological generation. Syntactic generation involves creating a
deep-tree structure from the output of the analysis, which is then re-ordered by trans-
formational rules. The final tree is labelled with the grammatical functions and features
of the target language. This re-ordered surface structure can now be processed by the
morphological generator, which creates labelled lexical items which can be easily turned
into target sentences.
