In a backtracking parser, a natural way of dealing with such constraints is to coroutine them with the other parsing processes, reducing them only when the parse tree is sufficiently instantiated so that they can be deterministically resolved. Such parsers are particularly easy to implement in extended versions of Prolog (such as Pro-loglI, SICStus Prolog and Eclipse) which have such coroutining facilities built-in. Like all backtracking parsers, they can exhibit non-termination and exponential parse times in situations where memoizing parsers (such as chart parsers) can terminate in polynomial time. Unfortunately, the coroutining approach, which requires that constraints share variables in order to communicate, seems to be incompatible with standard memoization techniques, which *This research was largely conducted at the Institut ffir maschinelle Sprachverarbeitung in Stuttgart.

Note that the definitions of add_adjuncSs/2 and division/2 are recursive, and have an infinite number of solutions when only their first arguments are instantiated. This is necessary because the number of adjuncts that can be associated with any given verb is unbounded. Thus it is infeasible to enumerate all of the categories that could be associated with a verb when it is retrieved from the lexicon, so following BN, we treat the predicates add_adjlmcts/2 and division/2 as coroutined constraints which are only resolved when their second arguments become sufficiently instantiated. As noted above, this kind of constraint coroutining is built-in to a number of Prolog implementations. Unfortunately, the left recursion inherent in the combinatory rules mentioned earlier dooms any standard backtracking top-down parser to nontermination, no matter how coroutining is applied to the lexical constraints. As is well-known, memoizing parsers do not suffer from this deficiency, and we present a memoizing interpreter below which does terminate.",

Item 4 is tagged program because it contains a negative literal that is not 'memo' or 'delay'; the resolution of this literal with the program clauses for lex/3 produces item 5 containing the constraint literals associated with lijkt re. Both of these are classified as 'delay' literals, so item 5 is tagged solution, and both are 'inherited' when item 5 resolves with the table-tagged items 2 and 3, producing items 6 (corresponding to a right application analysis with lijkt te as functor) and item 19 (corresponding to a left application analysis with ont. wijken as functor) respectively.

For example, the technique can be used in chart parsing: in such a system an edge consists not only of a dotted rule and associated variable bindings (i.e., instantiated feature terms), but also contains zero or more as yet unresolved constraints that are propagated (and simplified if sufficiently instantiated) during application of the fundamental rule. At a more abstract level, the identical propagation of both variable bindings and more general constraints leads us to question whether there is any principled difference between them. While still preliminary, our research suggests that it is often possible to reexpress complex feature based grammars more succinctly by using more general constraints.",
