This thesis shows how constraint programming can be applied to the processing of Categorial Type Logics(CTL). It presents a novel formalisation of the parsing task for categorial grammars as a tree configuration problem, and demonstrates how a recent proposal for emph{structural constraints} on CTL parse trees can be integrated into this framework. The resulting processing model has been implemented using the Mozart programming environment. It appears to be a promising starting point for further research on the application of constraint parsing to CTL and the investigation of the practical processing complexity of CTL grammar fragments.}
