Computational Systemic-Functional
Linguistics
This chapter offers a generic overview of computational systemic functional linguistics. It first
presents how the linguistic system as a whole is conceived; this is the model for all aspects of the
generic system and so is the foundation on which all decisions, including many `implementational'
decisions, are made. Following this, it introduces an organization for thinking about the relationship
between theory, description, and implementation. This should make it easier to see where one should
look for details of particular aspects of the generic system.
● The linguistic system
❍ Depth and Breadth
■ Stratal organization
■ Metafunctions
■ Functional Regions
❍ Intra-stratal organization: choice and delicacy; structural realization
❍ Inter-stratal organization: interfaces
● A generic computational systemic functional system
● A specific instantiation: the Penman-style architecture
❍ The generation process: overview
■ Network traversal
■ Accessing semantic information
■ Stopping traversal: bottoming out
● Pointers to further information
