best posted to the individual asking the question. That individual is
then strongly encouraged to post a summary to the list. This policy was
instituted to help control the huge volume of mail on LINGUIST; so we

In addition to posting a summary, we'd like to remind people that it
is usually a good idea to personally thank those individuals who have

Hello:

I am currently a 4th year PhD student at the University of Illinois at
Chicago who is working towards a thesis in Discourse Parsing. I was
wondering if there are any freely downloadable LFG parsers in English with
a wide coverage grammar that I could use for my research work. XLE seems to
be a popular one but is proprietory. If anyone has developed any LFG
parsers/grammars for English or knows of any, please let do let me know.

Thank you in advance.
