SUMMARY
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Because of the modularlzation in D~ALOGIC, changes in one part of the system reverberate very little in other components. Changes in the constraints imposed on the phrase-structure rules in the grammar have no effect on any other part of the system. A change in a rule itself necessitates a change in the corresponding translator, but the basic semantic functions do not need to be revised.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> Similarly, a change in the logical form or in the data structures within which it is implemented requires a corresponding change in the basic semantic functions, but not in the grammar or translators.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> In addition to extending DIALOGIC as mentioned in the foregoing sections, we are also investigating possible revisions of the translation phase (as currently performed by the translators and basic semantic functions) to allow translation into loglcal form to be specified declaratlvely. In this new approach \[Rosenscheln and Shleber (to appear)\[, loglcal types are associated with the phrasal categories, and the translation of a phrase is synthesized from the translations of its immediate constituents according to a local rule, which typically involves functional application.</Paragraph>
