This paper describes a classical logic for attribute-value (or feature description) languages which ate used in urfification grammar to describe a certain kind of linguistic object commonly called attribute-value structure (or feature structure). Tile algorithm which is used for deciding satisfiability of a feature description is based on a restricted deductive closure construction for sets of literals (atomic formulas and negated atomic formulas). In contrast to the Kasper/Rounds approach (cf. [Kasper/Rounds 90]), we can handle cyclicity, without the need for the introduction of complexity norms, as in [Johnson 88J and [Beierle/Pletat 88]. .
