1. INTRODUCTION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The GTT-system (Geneva Teaching Transducer)1 is a ger~ral tree-to-tree transducer developed as a tool for training linguists in machine translation and computational linguistics. The transducer is a specialized production system tailored to the requirements of ecmputational linguists providing them with a means of expressing information in a format close to the linguistic theory they are familiar with.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> GIT has been developed for teaching purposes and cannot be considered as a system for large scale development. A first version has been inplemented in standard Pascal and is currently running on a Univac 1100/61 and a VAX-780 under UNIX. At present it is being used by a team of linguists for experimental devel~t of an MT system for a special purpose language (Buchmann et al., 1984), and to train students in cc~putational linguistics.</Paragraph>
