CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> We have presented a currently implemented parser that can parse some free-word order sentences of Warlpiri. The representations (e.g., the lexicon and phrase-markers) and algorithms (e.g., projection, undirected case-marking, and the directed selection) employed are faithful to the linguistic theory on which they are based. This system, while quite unlike a rule-based parser, seems to have the potential to correctly analyze a substantial range of linguistic phenomena. Because the parser is based on linguistic principles it should be more flexible and extendible than rule-based systems. Furthermore, such a parser may be changed more easily when there are changes in the linguistic theory on which it is based. These properties give the class of principle-based parsers greater promise to ultimately parse full-fledged natural language input.</Paragraph>
