The simple andderived syntactic categories of categorial grammar and the combination rules can beencoded as feature structures. The application of combination rules takes place with thehelp of feature unification. Calder, Klein, and Zeevat (1988) developed a version of CUGcalled unification categorial grammar which combines a categorial syntax with acompositional semantics based on discourse representation theory. Another versionwas suggested by Karttunen (1986) and used to describe word order variations inFinnish. CUG formalisms are used for the implementation of several experimentalcomputational linguistics program systems.ReferencesCalder. J.E.Klein, and H.Zeevat. 1988.
