Abstract
Methods are developed for constructing momentum-space amplitudes corresponding to nonpolynomial nonderivative interactions of a real scalar field. The methods give rise to a supergraph technique and rules for writing down matrix elements very similar to Feynman techniques. The methods are not established rigorously; at several points the argument requires certain analytic properties of Feynman integrands which, though plausible, can only be demonstrated rigorously for the zero-mass case. Asymptotic behavior, both in spacelike and timelike directions, is discussed. Rough arguments are given that indicate that the singularity structure of the amplitudes is likely to be consistent with unitarity.
