  abstract = "<p>Realization is the process that takes a conceptual representation of a
             text to a linguistic representation.  Realization is not a simple
             mapping from a text plan to natural language, because it adds pragmatic
             content to the text.  This thesis includes a principled account of what
             aspects of meaning should be derived from the text plan and what should
             be derived from control in realization.  From this account a model of
             realization is developed that distinguishes between texts with the
             intent of generating an optimal realization.
             The model is implemented in a system called <small>ELOQUENCE</small> that
             organizes the choices available to the realization process and measure
             the appropriateness of texts for a given set of pragmatic goals.
             Eloquence separates text planning from realization. However, processing
             constraints apply when most appropriate and do not necessarily reflect
             module boundaries.</p>"
