5. CONCLUSION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A grammar language for deterministic parsing has been outlined which is designed to improve the understandability of the grammar. Instead of allowing a large set of rules to be active at once, the grammar language requires that rules be organized into sequences of steps where each step contains only a small number of rules. Such an organization corresponds to the essentially sequential nature of language processing and greatly improves the perspicuity of the grammar. The grammar is further simplified by means of a general method of interfacing between syntactic and semantic processing. This interface provides a general mechanism for dealing with syntactic ambiguities which arise from optional post-modifiers.</Paragraph>
