Unification Encodings of Grammatical Notations

This paper describes various techniques for enriching unification-based grammatical formalisms with notational devices that are compiled into categories and rules of a standard unification grammar. This enables grammarians to avail themselves of apparently richer notations that allow for the succinct and relatively elegant expression of grammatical facts, while still allowing for efficient processing for the analysis or synthesis of sentences using such grammars.
