    <Paragraph position="0"> This paper was inspired by a number of works.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> A massively par-Mlel parsing by Waltz and Poll~k \[WP85\] has demonstrated the etfect of integration through a uniform computation me(hanism (marker passing) in context-dependent comprehension of discourse. They have pointed out the importance of non-logical, associative relation between concepts. Charniak has pointed out the abductive nature of language comprehension. Chat'niak's Wimp \[Cha86\] uses a marker passing mechanism as a basis of abductive inference engine for language comprehension. But it is not used alone; it is augmented by a logical process called path proof. \[na parser used in Lytinen's MOP-.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> TITANS \[Lyt86\], a mechanism is provided to allow close interaction between syntax and semantics, while keeping the modularity of the system. Another thing to note is that Lytinen's integrated parser makes use of strong semantic expectation to constrain the search.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="3"> The integrated parsing engine presented in this paper takes advantages of these preceding works. Unlike Waltz and Pollack, and like Charniak and Lytinen, our integrated parsing engine has a hybrid architecture for logical atld non-logical inferences. What is novel with ore&amp;quot; integrated pat'sing engine is the method of integrating and maintaining logical and non-logical ~nformafion Obtained from various sottrce. In</Paragraph>
