Looking at the path taken through the grammar network
We can bring up the grammar network again by the ‘Graph Region’ command underneath the ‘Inspect’ menu bar option as described in step 2. This time, however, when we see the grammar it looks like this.
The path that we took during generation has been marked out in mauve (or in grey if you are reading this in black and white). This makes it very easy for us to follow through exactly what the grammar is doing when it is trying to build a grammatical structure.
We can now quickly see which of the realization statements (the statements in boxes) were used to construct our generated grammatical units. Collecting these all together, we get the statements set out in the following table.
| +Title | Insert a constituent labelled 'Title' into the grammatical unit being generated |
| +Name | Insert a constituent labelled 'Name' into that constituent |
| Name ! Smith | Use the lexical item 'Smith' to express the constituent labelled 'Name' |
| Title ! Mr | Use the lexical item 'Mr' to express the constituent labelled 'Title' |
Looking at the information in the table, we see that indeed nowhere did the grammar give any information about the relative ordering of the grammatical constituents ‘Title’ and ‘Name’. This information has therefore to be added into the grammar.
