Abstract
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We present a new way to simplify the construction of precise broad-coverage grammars, employing typologicallymotivated, customizable extensions to a language-independent core grammar.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Each 'module' represents a salient dimension of cross-linguistic variation, and presents the grammar developer with simple choices that result in automatically generated language-specific software. We illustrate the approach for several phenomena and explore the interdependence of the modules.</Paragraph>
