A first round of transformations (“chunker”) detects SL LF patterns and generates the
corresponding sequences of TL LFs grouped in chunks representing simple constituents such as
noun phrases, prepositional phrases, etc. These chunks bear tags that may be used for inter-chunk
processing.
The second round (“interchunk”) reads patterns of chunks and produces a new sequence of
chunks. This is the module where one can attempt to perform some longer-range reordering
operations, inter-chunk agreement, case selection, etc.
The third round (“postchunk”) transfers chunk-level tags to the lexical forms they contain
and whose lexical-form-level tags are linked (through a referencing systems) to chunk-level tags
(for instance, case determined for a noun phrase is transferred to the main noun), and removes all
grouping information to generate the desired sequence of TL LFs.
