Abstract
Somers' paper falls short of its declared aim of demonstrating that: 1) G2 principles of modularity are inadequate; 2) current knowledge-based and linguistics-based MT research is wrong in adhering to these modularity principles; and 3) clearcut alternatives to these principles have now emerged. Finally, I would like to point out that Somers' review of current MT research contains some important omissions. For instance, it seems to me that a comprehensive review of the MT scene can no longer ignore some recent results in multilingual text generation (Kittredge 1989): in certain situations, generation clearly has an edge over MT.
