Abstract
Multiple versions of a document may need to be produced for different purposes and so may require quite different stylistic structures. This paper describes how we are building stylistic control into both natural language parsers (Pundit) and generators (Penman) to handle variations in hospital patient education materials. Stylistic knowledge is formally represented in terms of a multi-level stylistic grammar which defines a systematic correspondence between low-level syntactic structures and high-level stylistic effects.
