19 Conclusions It is possible to describe (generate) all(?) types of sentences by logistic grammar Can one scale-up the test grammar adding e.g. coordination and using available lexicons? Does logistic grammar offer new interesting typological possibilities? Does logistic grammar offer new pedagogical possibilities? Can one predict the processing and duration of sentences by logistic linguistics? How does logistic grammar relate to other types of grammar?
