Description

This generator of wine tasting notes in English serves as a guide for native Spanish speakers with an intermediate level of English who need to compose such texts for publication.

The application draws on information stored in a data base which comprises a corpus of 716 texts composed in English and 750 texts composed in Spanish. The corpus has been tagged rhetorically so as to assist the user in the identification of the different sections that need to be included. The generator offers three options of more or less complex notes to accommodate different user requirements. Furthermore, the generator provides a series of linguistic options and recommendations that are typical of such text types and provides examples that are drawn from the corpus. These recommendations consist of phrases with gaps to be filled with the relevant content required by each individual user to customize the texts. In addition, the generator provides a lexicographical tool in the form of a bilingual glossary containing specialized words characteristic of these text types.
