Conclusion
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Syntactic corpus annotations, complex corpus queries and comt)utational grammars have one common point: they are descriptions of natural language grammars. Our claim is that corpus query languages should be close to traditional grammar fbrmalisins in order to make complicated information extraction tasks easier to encode. The level of processing efficiency of scripting languages can still be reached if one restricts oneself to 'off-line' compilable language elements only.</Paragraph>
