Abstract
The application of syntactic rules (e.g. agreement rules, deletion of repeated elements in a coordination, reduction of nominal or subordinate clauses) is domain-independent. Thus, it is of the utmost interest that a syntactic component applying such rules be developed ’once and for all’. A syntactic component will be described for both French and English.
