Abstract
Most connectionist networks in present use employ built-in learning algorithms. Their major disadvantage however is their inability to handle complex knowledge structures. In this paper a connectionist network is presented which can handle highly developed cognitive structures not by making use of learning processes but by the integration of a powerful initial structure. Parsing of context-free phrase structure grammars shall exemplify the workings of the network.
