This paper describes an utterance generator, which can generate various styles of utterances. The key component of this generator is Utterance Expression Dictionary, which contains more than 1,000 utterance patterns with style parameters; these patterns are also classified into 74 groups of utterance intention. Given an utterance content, an utterance intention, and style parameters, the generator produces a surface string of the utterance that has the given style.
