When there are no written representations or warranties, the common law rule of caveat emptor("buyer beware") usually applies. Under this rule, the buyer assumes the risk that the quality and condition of the property is satisfactory. Sellers do not have an obligation to disclose all defects at the time of sale. Without written representations or warranties, the buyer may therefore have no legal remedy if the house is defective. 2, record 4, English, - rule%20of%20caveat%20emptor

SAM could read a variety of stories. Since we already had the translation ability that the conceptual parsers and generators from MARGIE provided, we could translate the stories into... Russian and Spanish. The Russian and Spanish versions weren’t exact translations of each other. The student who had written the Russian generator wrote it differently from the one that the Spanish speaking student had written. The meaning representations reflected not only linguistic but also cultural differences. 2, record 7, English, - sentence%20generation
