INTRODUCTION
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> HARC, the BBN Spoken Language System (Boisen, et al. (1989)) is a system for speech understanding that integrates speech recognition techniques with natural language processing. As our integration methodology, we use lallice parsing. In this architecture, an acoustic processor produces a lattice of possible words that is passed to a parser which produces all possible parses for all syntactically permissible word sequences present in the lattice. These parse trees are then passed to a semantic interpretation component, which produces the possible interpretations of these parse structures, filtering out anomalous readings where possible.</Paragraph>
