The first part of this paper is dedicated to an overview of the parser of the system VIE-LANG (Viennese Language Understanding System). The parser is a production system which uses an interleaved method that combines syntax and semantics. It parses directly into the internal representation of the system, without producing an intermediate syntactic structure. The last part discusses the relationship between some special features of the German language, and properties of the parser that originate in the language.
