Here we present a grammatical tbrmalism, 'Axiomatic Grammar', which is based upon a small number of linguistically motivated ax-toms and deduction rules. Each axiom or rule combines a 'category' with a string of words to form a further category. This contrasts with the usual 'treestructure' approach to syntactic analysis where constituents are combined with each other to form a further constituent.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="1"> We describe a grammar for English which has a good coverage of 'non-constituent' coordination.</Paragraph> <Paragraph position="2"> The grammar has been integrated with a toy semantics, and has been implemented in a left-to-right parser with incremental semantic interpretation. The parser does not suffer fi'om spurious ambiguity. null</Paragraph> </Section> class="xml-element"></Paper>
