this paper this is not necessary; it turns out that with some modifications we can use the Incremental Algorithm for both kinds of definite descriptions. The second aspect of the Incremental Algorithm which prohibits immediate embedding in a Concept-to-Speech system is that its output is not a natural language expression, but a list of properties which uniquely selects one object from a context set. The question how this list of properties is to be expressed in natural language is not addressed. Still, when developing a Concept-to-Speech system that is what we are interested in. Additionally, we want to know which properties realized in the definite description should be accented due to the fact that they are new to the discourse, or since they stand in a contrast relation (as is the case with the properties dog and cat in example (1.b)). However, when we embed the proposed modified algorithm in LGM,

The MetaPost system implements a picture-drawing language very much like Knuth’s METAFONT except that it outputs PostScript commands instead of run-length-encoded bitmaps. MetaPost is a powerful language for producing figures for documents to be printed on PostScript printers. It provides easy access to all the features of PostScript and it includes facilities for integrating text and graphics. This document describes the system and its implementation. It also includes basic user documentation to be used in conjunction with The METAFONTbook. Much of the source code was copied from the META-FONT sources by permission from the author. 1

this paper, we flesh out a number of these aspects, without losing sight of the attractive properties of the original algorithm (speed, complexity, psychological plausibility).

This article describes an extended implementation of the L A T E X array-- and tabular--environments. The special merits of this implementation are further options to format columns and the fact that fragile L A T E X--commands don't have to be "protect'ed any more within those environments. The major part of the code for this package dates back to 1988---so does some of its documentation. 1 Introduction This new implementation of the array-- and tabular--environments is part of a larger project in which we are trying to improve the L A T E X-code in some aspects and to make L A T E X even easier to handle. The reader should be familiar with the general structure of the environments mentioned above. Further information can be found in [3] and [1]. The additional options which can be used in the preamble as well as those which now have a slightly different meaning are described in table 1. Additionally we introduce a new parameter called "extrarowheight. If it "extrarowheight ...

MetaPost is a graphics language like METAFONT, but with new primitives for integrating text and graphics and for accessing special features of PostScript 2 such as clipping, shading, and dashed lin...
