An Algorithm For Generation In Unification Categorial Grammar

We present an algorithm for the generation of sentences from the semantic representations of Unification Categorial Grammar. We discuss a variant of Shieber's semantic monotonicity requirement and its utility in our algorithm. We indicate how the algorithm may be extended to other grammars obeying the same requirement. Appendices contain a full listing of the program and a trace of execution of the algorithm.
