In this paper we introduce XMG (eXtensible MetaGrammar), a system dedicated to the production of wide coverage lexicalised grammars. In particular, we show that XMG provides a representation language suitable for describing different linguistic dimensions and different grammatical formalisms. Furthermore, we briefly sketch the architecture of the XMG compiler showing that it encodes a theoretically sound processing of the XMG formalism.
