Abstract
This paper describes work with the aim of the development of an LFGbased parser and grammar development system, which is to be applied as syntactic analysis component in a natural language consulting system under development. The implementation of the parser and the grammar development environment has been performed in Interlisp-D on a Lisp machine. The parser covers the various types of equations proposed in LFG (as described in Kaplan/Bresnan 82); the grammar development environment enables the grammar writer to specify the linguistic knowledge sources like grammar and lexicon in a descriptive way, where the specification format is very near the standard notational conventions used in LFG.
