This article proposes a framework in which knowledge compilation can be exploited in a principled manner for the task of generating natural language. We have constructed an utterance generator for one side of a realistic dialogue that exploits compiled knowledge of, for instance, the effects of discourse pragmatics on text plans, and the effects of register, style, and politeness on text realization. The motivation for this work is the significant impact that compiled knowledge has on the speed of language generation.
