    <Paragraph position="0"> The lexicon, after it is integrated with FUF/SURGE, can also be used for other tasks in language generation. For example, revision (Robin, 1994) is a technique for building semantic inputs incrementally. The revision process decides whether it is appropriate to attach a new constituent to the current semantic input, for example, by adding an  by syntactic properties of verbs. The integrated lexicon is useful to verify these properties.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Nitrogen (Langkilde and Knight, 1998), a natural language generation system developed at ISI, also includes a large-scale lexicon to support the generation process. Given that Nitrogen and FUF/SURGE use very different methods for generation, the way that we integrate the lexicon with the generation system is also very different. Nitrogen combines symbolic rules with statistics learned from text corpora, while FUF/SURGE is based on Functional Unification Grammar. Other related work includes (Stede, 1998), which suggests a lexicon structure for multi-lingual generation in a knowledge-based generation system. The main idea is to handle multilingual generation in the same way as paraphrasing of the same language. Stede's work concerns mostly the lexical semantics of the transitivity alternations.</Paragraph>
