- Syntactic realization: formalisms and models of grammars for sentence production.
- Architecture of generators.
- Lexical choice.
- Psychological modelling of discourse production.
- Pragmatic influences on lexical choice, syntax and content selection.
- Multilingual or multi-modal generation.
- Applications of generation technology (report generation, explanation for knowledge-based systems, automatic translation...).

- Evaluation of generation results.
Relevant aspects of the following areas relate to problems of natural language generation:
- Grammar theory
- Statistical methods
