We intend our system to produce widecoverage grammars which have some resemblance to the standard 2 context-free grammars of English which grammarians and linguists commonly exhibit as exampies.

This enables grammarians to avail themselves of apparently richer notations which allow for the succinct and relatively elegant expression of grammatical facts, while still allowing for efficient pro...
