TL;DR: A syntactic-head-driven algorithm provides a basis for a logically well-defined treatment of the movement of (syntactic) heads, for which only ad-hoc solutions existed, so far.
Abstract: The previously proposed semantic -head-driven generation methods run into problems if none of the daughter constituents in the syntacto-semantic rule schemata of a grammar fits the definition of a semantic head given in [Shieber et al., 1990]. This is the case for the semantic analysis rules of certain constraint-based semantic representations, e.g. Underspecified Discourse Representation Structures (UDRSs) [Frank and Reyle, 1992].Since head-driven generation in general has its merits, we simply return to a syntactic definition of 'head' and demonstrate the feasibility of syntaclic-head-driven generation. In addition to its generality, a syntactic-head-driven algorithm provides a basis for a logically well-defined treatment of the movement of (syntactic) heads, for which only ad-hoc solutions existed, so far.

TL;DR: The paper investigates a class of argument marking prepositional phrases that have two roles when they occur in some verb phrases, casting syntax-semantics correlations in the internal argument structure of the verb phrase.
Abstract: The paper investigates a class of argument marking prepositional phrases that have two roles when they occur in some verb phrases. Primarily, such prepositional phrases provide the head verb with a noun phrase as one of its dependents, casting syntax-semantics correlations in the internal argument structure of the verb phrase. Additionally, they can carry substantial semantic information. The paper contributes to methods of language processing by integrated algorithmic syntax-semantics interface. The work is part of development of a new type-theoretic approach to the concepts of algorithm and algorithmic syntax-semantics interfaces.

TL;DR: An investigation of the Georgian poetry settings of Michael Head (1900-1976) constitutes the central purpose of this study as discussed by the authors, and the stylistic procedures explored in the settings are documented.
Abstract: An investigation of the Georgian poetry settings of Michael Head (1900-1976) constitutes the central purpose of this study. To that purpose the Georgian settings are documented, and the stylistic procedures explored. In addition, Head's complete solo song output has been catalogued. This study is divided into five chapters and one appendix. Chapter I furnishes introductory information about the study. Chapter II defines Georgian poetry. Chapter III explores the stylistic features apparent in the works of two influential predecessors in the field of the English solo art song, Roger Quilter and Peter Warlock. Chapter IV examines the Georgian solo art song settings of some of Michael Head's contemporaries. Chapter V furnishes introductory information about Michael Head and explores stylistic features apparent in the Georgian poetry settings of this composer. The appendix constitutes a Catalogue of the 122 solo art songs by Michael Head. Comprising a chronological conspectus, with listings of poets, available keys, and range and tessitura of the songs, the catalogue supplies a systematic guide to this composer's complete solo song output.
