This paper presents an analysis of a family of particular English constructions, all of which roughly express "purpose". In particular we look at the purpose clause, rationale .clause, and infinitival relative clause. We (1) show that couching the analysis in a computational framework, specifically generation, provides a more satisfying account than analyses based strictly on descriptive linguistics, (2) describe an implementation of our analysis in the natural language generation system MUMBLE-86, and (3) discuss how our architecture improves upon the techniques used by other generation systems for handling these and other adjunct constructions. . | Constraints on the Generation of Adjunct Clauses Alison K.

INTRODUCTION Natural language provides a variety of devices for expressing relations between elements in a positioning two sentences in sequence conveys an implicit relation between them 1 bought a book. I m going to read it on the plane. Clauses may also be joined with explicit lexical connectives 2 I bought a book so that I could read it on the plane. A few relations may be expressed directly through particular types of subordination of one clause to another1 3 I bought a book to read on the plane. This latter category is the most cohesive of these three devices as the adjunct is crucially dependent on the material in the matrix clause for its interpretation Halliday Hasan 1976 . However such structural linking mechanisms are also the most limited in applicability only certain relations may be expressed 1 We refer here to infinitive clauses which are grammatically related to the main clause as optional adverbials rather than as complements arguments to a verb such as Floyd wanted to go to the zoo . in this way and complex grammatical constraints must be satisfied. In this paper we .
