5. CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> There will always be researchers who continue to build their own grammars, as they attempt to work out theories of more syntactic phenomena and to make existing formulations more elegant. But there axe a large number of other researchers who are building grammars when they want to be and should be working on some of the less understood problems in natural language processing, or when they have an application that needs to be implemented. As a result, research is retarded and applications are delayed. The availability of a National Resource Grammar would free researchers to push on the frontiers of the field and to move applications into the workplace, rather than duplicating what has been done often before.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> After over thirty years of extensive research in linguistics and computational linguistics on the syntax of English, it is time for the development of the National Resource Grammar, reflective of the best that we know and available for general use.</Paragraph>
