Linguistic Resources for the Automatic Generation of Texts in Natural Language: The Elvex Formalism

I present a Natural Language Generation system based on symbolic methods and linguistic knowledge. We call Elvex the formalism as well as the implemented program based on it. My goal in developing such a system is not to try to develop an application as talkative and relevant as the Pre-Trained Transformer Chatbots like ChatGPT, launched by OpenAI in 2022, or the BLOOM project more recently. Instead, my aim is to follow an hypothetico-deductive approach and implement a Text Generation system that supports a linguistic study.
