My conlang, Livagian, has unambiguous syntax parsed
incrementally with no lookahead, and it cuts the
Gordian knot of self-segrating morphology by extending
the input to the syntactic parser to the level of the
syllable (or potentially the segment). As each syllable
is read in, the syllable is looked up in the lexicogrammar,
resulting in one of the following sorts of instruction
to the parser:
(a) Subordinate the incoming syllable to the syllable that
follows it.
(b) Access the lexical entry corresponding (i) to the
incoming syllable, or (ii), if the incoming syllable is
the root of a chain of syllables linked by process (a),
to the syllable chain rooted in the incoming syllable.
Follow the instructions of the lexicogrammar to link
the incoming syllable to a previous node or to a following
node.
