We present a syntactic parser. Paragram. which tries to accomrnodate three goals. First it will parse, in a natural way, ungrammatical sentences. Secondly, it aspires to 'capture the relevant generalizations'", as in transfornalional grammar, and thus its rules are in virtual one-to-one correspondence with typical transformational rules. Finally, it promises to be reasonably efficient, especially given certain limited parallel processing capabilities.

    We present a distributed connectionist architecture for parsing context free grammars. It improves earlierattempts in that it is not limited to parse trees of fixed width and height (i e. fixed length sentences). Thememory limitations inherent m connectionist architectures comes out in an inability to parse centerembeddedsentencesKey Words: connectionist parsing, distributed connectionism, context-free grammars.
