MIMIC-PPT

Similar to other text mimicking techniques, such as the NICETEXT system, dictionaries and sentence templates are necessary in MIMIC-PPT. However, the dictionaries and sentence templates need not be transmitted between the communication parties. By utilizing existing linguistic tools, the senders and the receivers can automate the creation of a dictionary table and some sentence templates according to the following rules: Rule 1 and Rule 2. To make our description clear, two definitions are presented first as follows.

Definition 1: Content words are words that have meaning, such as nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs.

Definition 2: Function words are words that exist to explain or create grammatical or structural relationships into which the content words may fit, such as pronouns, prepositions conjunctions, determiners, interrogatives and so on.
