ABSTRACT
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> How can grammar be viewed as a functional part of a cognitive system) Given a neural basis for the processing control paradigm of language performance, what roles does 'Sgrammar&amp;quot; play? Is there evidence to suggest that grammatical processing can be independent from other aspects of language processing? This paper will focus on these issues and suggest answers within the context of one computational solution. The example model of sentence comprehension, HOPE, is intended to demonstrate both representational considerations for a grammar within such a system as well as to illustrate that by interpreting a grammar as a feedback control mechanism of a &amp;quot;neural-like&amp;quot; process, additional insights into language processing can be obtained.</Paragraph>

1. Introduction
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> The role of grammar in defining cognitive models that are neurally plausible and psychologically valid will be the focus of this paper. While inguistic theory greatly influences the actual representation that is included in any such model, there are vast differences in how any grammar selected is &amp;quot;processed&amp;quot; within a &amp;quot;natural computation&amp;quot; paradigm. The processing does not grow trees explicitly; it does not transform trees explicitly; nor does it move constituents.</Paragraph>
    <Paragraph position="1"> In this type of model, a grammar is an explicit encoded representation that coordinates the integrated parallel process. It provides the interfaces between parallel processes that can be interpreted within semantic and syntactic levels separately. It furthermore acts as a &amp;quot;conductor&amp;quot; of a time-synchronized process. Aspects of how a grammar might be processed within a cognitive view of sentence comprehension will be demonstrated within an implemented model of such processing, HOPE (Gigley, 1981; 1982a; 1982b; 1983; 1984; 1985). This view of grammatical &amp;quot;process&amp;quot; suggests that neural processing should be included as a basis for defining what is universal in language. null</Paragraph>
