This document presents FG, a unification categorial grammar for French. The salient characteristics of FG are given in section 1, stressing differences with respect to standard UCG. Section 2 describes the grammar structure. Section 3 presents the flow of information between concatenating signs: (i) the four basic UCG operations, (ii) the formal peculiarities of FG, (iii) the underlying variables ruling word ordering, (iv) the feature-based encoding of the information related to these variables, (v) the accounting for word order without order values, (vi) the accounting for non adjacent linearity phenomena and finally (vii) the general principles underlying the encoding of information in lexical entries. Section 4 presents FG coverage.
