This paper sketches some basic features of the SYNPHONICS account of the computational modelling of incremental language production with the example of the generation of passive sentences. The SYNPHONICS approach aims at linking psycholinguistic insights into the nature of the human natural language production process with well-established assumptions in theoretical and computational linguistics concerning the representation and processing of grammatical knowledge. | The Incremental Generation of Passive Sentences Bernd Abb Michael Herweg Kai Lebeth Universităt Hamburg FB Informatik AB Wissens- und Sprachverarbeitung Bodenstedtstr. 16 D-2000 Hamburg 50 Germany email herweg@ abb lebethj@ Abstract This paper sketches some basic features of the SYNPHONICS account of the computational modelling of incremental language production with the example of the generation of passive sentences. The SYNPHONICS approach aims at linking psycholinguistic insights into the nature of the human natural language production process with well-established assumptions in theoretical and computational linguistics concerning the representation and processing of grammatical knowledge. We differentiate between two possible kinds of stimuli within the generation process that ưigger the formation of passive sentences a Formulator-extemal stimulus and a Formulator-internal one. The Formulator-extemal stimulus is determined by the conceptual contextual condition of agent backgrounding An agentless semantic representation is verbalized by way of constructing an ergativized verbal complex in the morphological structure-building component rather than by mapping the semantic representation directly onto a passive lemma. The Formulator-intemal stimulus is an effect of the consữaints of rapid incremental utterance production in particular it causes the Formulat- The research reported in this paper is carried out in the research project Sprachproduktion von konzeptueller Struktur und Kontext zur prosodischen Realisierung der Bedeutung at the University of Hamburg.

In this case the formation of passives is a matter of an additional consưaint on the Lemma Selection process Lemma Selection is constrained by the structural .
