    <Paragraph position="0"> So far, l)ynamic l)ependeney Grammars can be seen solely as a way to provide incremental parsing and illterpretation for Lexicalised l)ependency Grammars.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> As such, they are not of particular linguistic significance, ltowever, it is possible to use DDGs as subsets of ntore expressive dynamic gramnrars, where extra axioms and deduction rules are used to provide coverage of syntactic phenomena which are difficult to la'I'his is also true for dyn~anic refomlulations of extended versions of LDG which allow functionn of functions.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> encode lexically (e.g. coordination, topicalisation and extrapcsition). For example, tile following deduction rule (again restricted to non-empty strings), Co String, C,, C~C, Co String,, &amp;quot;and'~C~ provides all account of the syntax of non-constituent coordination (Milward, 1991). The sentences John gave Mary a book and Peter a paper&amp;quot; and Sue sold and Peter thinks Bert bought a painting are accepted since &amp;quot;Mary a book&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Peter a paper&amp;quot; perform tile same transitions between syntactic states, ms do &amp;quot;Sue sold&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;Peter thinks Ben botlght&amp;quot; The gr,'mtmars described in this paper have been implemeuted in Prolog. A dynamic gramnlar based upon the extended version of l,I)Gs is being devel oped to provide incremental interpretation for the natural hmguage interface to a grapllics package.</Paragraph>
