Abstract
Generalized Categorial Dependency Grammars (gCDG) studied in this paper are genuine categorial grammars expressing projective and discontinuous dependencies, stronger than CF-grammars and non-equivalent to mild context-sensitive grammars. We show that gCDG are parsed in polynomial time and enjoy good mathematical properties.
