This paper presents a class of dependency-based formal grammars (FODG) which can be parametrized by two different but similar measures of nonprojectivity. The measures allow to formulate constraintz on the degree of word-order freedom in a language described , a FODG. We discuss the problem of the degree of word-order freedom which should be allowed , a FODG 'describing the (surface) syntax of Czech.
