One advantage of this bundled information is its reusability, which allows redundancy to be reduced. The representation of lexical information should enable us to express a further kind of generalization, namely the relations between regularity, subregularity, and irregularity. Furthermore, the representation has to be computationaUy tractable and -- possibly with the addition of"syntactic sugar" -- more or less readable for human users.

Recent investigations show a remarkable convergence among contemporary unification-based formalisms for syntactic description. This convergence is now i t s e l f becoming an object of study, and there is an increasing recognition of the need for e x p l i c i t characterizations of the properties that relate and distinguish similar grammar formalisms. The paper proposes a series of changes in the formalism of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar that throw light on its relation to Functional Unification Grammar.
