is there a method to convert a parsed text back to text?

[ophiry]

my intention is to parse a sentence, modify the parse tree, and regenerate the text from the modified tree.
(if there are multiple representations, getting all the options is preferred)

No, spacy probably isn't the right library for this. You can modify the parse tree keeping all tokens in place, but the underlying text is fixed for a particular Doc, so you can't reorder tokens by modifying the parse tree.

Thanks,
are you aware of alternative tools, or papers \ research on this subject?
