A grammar formalism, Field and Category Grammar (FCG), is described, which beside constituent structure and functional structure recognizes a level of field structure. It is argued that the formalism offers descriptive and computational advantages for the analysis of Scandinavian and other languages that distinguish clause types topologically. It is also argued that the clear distinction between fields and constituents makes FCGs theoretically sounder than other proposed field grammars. A comparison is made of the word order rules and assumptions of FCGs with the partial orderings employed by GPSG and other models.
