    abstract = "In this paper we present a unification-based grammar formalism and parsing algorithm for the purposes of defining and processing non-concatenative languages. In order to encompass languages that are characterized by relations beyond simple string concatenation, we introduce relational constraints into a linguistically-based unification grammar formalism and extend bottom-up chart parsing methods. This work is currently being applied in the interpretation of hand-sketched mathematical expressions and structured flowcharts on notebook computers and interactive worksurfaces."
