</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> A parsing approach aiming at dependency structures for different representational levels has been presented. The approach improves in robustness by assessing partial structures, integrating multiple representational levels, and employing partial parsing techniques. Knowledge about the grammar but also extralinguistic information about the domain under consideration is encoded by meaus of graded constraints which allows for the arbitration between conflicting information. Different decision procedures for the defined parsing problem have been introduced and some efficiency issues have been discussed.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> The approach has successfully been applied to a number of modestly sized projects (Menzel and Schr~Sder, 1998; Heinecke et al., 1998).</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="2"> Further investigations will focus on possibilities for incremental processing of speech input and the realization of resource adaptive behavior. null</Paragraph>
