Abstract: This paper presents a grammar formalism for natural
language analysis, called extraposition grammars
(XGs), based on the subset of predicate calculus
known as definite, or Horn, clauses. It is argued that
certain important linguistic phenomena, collectively
known in transformational grammar as left extra-
position, can be described better in XGs than in earlier
grammar formalisms based on definite clauses (Update)
