Abstract
The structure and function of the target-language generation module for KBMT-89 is described. The lexical selection module (which includes thematic-role subcategorization, a meaning distance metric, and syntactic subcategorization) is presented. We also describe the generation mapping rules, and rule interpretation in the generation of f-structures for target language utterances.
