Matthiessen usc lnformation Sciences Institute 1 INTRODUCTION Computational linguistics needs grammars for several different tasks such as comprehension of text machine translation and text generation.1 Clearly any approach to grammar2 has potentially something to offer computational linguistics say for parsing or text generation and. by the same token there is a potential benefit from an application within computational linguistics for each approach cf. Fawcett 80 . However it is equally clear that some approaches have much more to offer than others. Here I will take a look at Systemic Linguistics3 in the service of computational linguistics tasks concentrating on a 1This research was supported by the Air Force Office of Scientific Research Contract No. F49620-79-C-0181.

There are now in the early 80s a great number of grammatical mechanisms around -- witness for example the 1979 Milwaukee conference on current alternative approaches to syntax where around fourteen alternatives were presented see Moravcsik Wirth 80 . a collection which is only a sample leaving out many current approaches. The term grammar is used in its traditional sense in systemic linguistics it subsumes both syntax and morphology. This use contrasts with the more recent one where grammar subsumes .
