CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> In this paper, I have described adding part-of-speech ambiguity to a version of the Marcus determinstic parser. The only additions necessary to the parser, were having the attachment function coerce the words to the part of speech the word is attached as and the grammar had to be altered so the rules would reject ungrammatical sentences, and made to enforce number and affix agreement. With these additions, the parser is able to handle a very wide range of ambiguity, with no special rules, and no need to backtrack. The resulting lexical ambiguity handling is very flexible and has a high success rate when simulated on free text.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> This work is far from complete. In this paper we have not discussed syntax/semantics interaction and global ambiguity. For comments on these, see \[Milne 1980\].</Paragraph>
