Abstract

The design and implementation of a large-coverage computational grammar of French is described. This grammar is compared to a comprehensive computational grammar of English which was implemented using the same computer workbench. Although many similarities may be observed in the two grammars, there are important structural differences which can be traced back to features specific to the French language, notably agreement and eliticization.
