Abstract

We argue that flexibility is an important property for unification-based formalisms. By flexibility we mean the ability for the user to modify and extend the formalism according to the needs of his problem. The paper discusses some properties necessary to achieve a flexible formalism and presents the FLUF formalism as a realization of these ideas.
