7 Summary
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this abstract, we have introduced a grammar format that can be used as a processing backbone for linearization-based HPSG grammars that supports the specification of discontinuous constituents and word order constraints on domains that extend beyond the local tree. We have presented a prototype parser for this format illustrating the use of order constraint compilation techniques to improve efficiency. Future work will concentrate on additional techniques for optimized parsing as well as the application of the parser to feature-based grammars.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> We hope that the GIDLP grammar format will encourage research on such optimizations in general, in support of efficient processing of relatively free constituent order phenomena using linearization-based HPSG.</Paragraph>
