Abstract
This paper describes a system of semantic analysis and generation, programmed in LISP 1.5 and designed to pass from paragraph-length input in English to French via an inter- lingual representation. A wide class of English input forms is covered, with a vocabulary initially restricted to a few hundred words. The distinguishing features of the translation system are: It translates phrase by phrase, with facilities for reordering phrases and establishing essential semantic connectivities between them. These constitute the interlingual repre- sentation to be translated. This matching is done without the explicit use of a conventional syntax analysis. The French output strings are generated without the explicit use of a generative grammar. This is done by means of stereotypes: strings of French words, and functions evaluating to French words, which are attached to English word senses in the dictionary and built into the interlingual representation by the analysis routines
