Abstract
Natural language output can be generated from semantic nets by processing templates associated with concepts in the net. A set of verb templates is being derived from a study of the surface syntax of some 3000 English verbs: the active forms of the verbs have been classified according to subject, object(s), and complement(s); these syntactic patterns, augmented with case names, are used as a grammar to control the generation of text.
