    <Paragraph position="0"> We have described a media-independent, compositional, plan-based approach to generating attributive descriptions for use in integrated text and graphics generation. An attributive descrip.tion's main function is to convey information directly contributing to the communicative goals of a discourse. In our architecture, uses of referential and attributive descriptions are represented as two distinct types of communicative acts ina media-independent plan. It is particularly important to distinguish the two types of acts, since they have different consequence s for.dialogue followup behavior, text generation, and graphic design.</Paragraph>
