ABSTRACT:
This paper discusses the use of natural language processing techniques
in the design of language interfaces for augmentative communication
systems. It presents a new technique called sentence compansion that
utilizes both natural language understanding techniques and generation
techniques to allow a user to express full grammatical sentences with
compressed content word sequences.
