The relevance for realistic modelling of language production cannot be overestimated. The semantics has a thorough cognitive foundation in the speaker's developing discourse domain. The syntax displays an impressive coverage of speakers' basic syntactic patterns in a range of languages, including recalcitrant German.

The grammar, which offers a syntactic theory closely connected with semantic analyses, is a direct continuation of Generative Semantics; it will re-ignite interest in that framework which flourished and promised so much in the 1960s and 1970s.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003ePreface. \u003cp\u003e1.
