9 Concluding Remarks
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> As noted earlier, the approach described here has strong similarities to one developed independently by Moortgat &amp; Oehrle (1993), although they take a precisely opposing view as to what constitute the appropriate directions of linkage between levels. One consequence of this difference is to allow them a more standard treatment of word order (not requiring an enriched term labelling algebra). The most important 'practical' difference is that the differing directions of 'natural movement' will tend to foster very different linguistic accounts. We may ask which of these two contradicting views of linkage is correct. Hepple (TO AP-PEAR.) suggests that both views are possible, and may even be compatible for realisation within a single system, further extending the possibilities for the multimodal systems that can be constructed and for their potential utility.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In conclusion, I have described an approach in which different sublogics coexist and are interrelated within a single categorial system. This gives an approach which allows access to a range of different modes of characterising linguistic structure, where the specific mode of description that is used in any case can be chosen as that which is appropriate for the aspect of linguistic phenomena that is under consideration.</Paragraph>
