Additional information

<22>This paper reports the first successful application of Information Status (IS) Theory to the field of Text Summarisation. The main innovation is that the computational application is based on a sophisticated, previously mainly abstract, linguistic theory. The academic rigour is in the empirical work demonstrating the utility of theoretical IS distinctions through evaluations of computer generated summaries. This paper was published in the top journal in the field of Computational Linguistics (CL), and has been cited in a recent literature review on “Computational generation of referring expressions” in the same journal.
