language synthesis [Grk sýnthesis ‘putting together, combination’]

In the broader sense, process of natural or artificial production of texts. Natural language synthesis occurs in every normal instance of speech of a competent speaker, artificial language synthesis takes place via machines (through primarily electronic means). Language synthesis in the narrower sense refers to the third phase of machine-aided translation (after the analysis and transfer phase), in which the text of the target language is produced in a morphologically and syntactically appropriate form.
