Lexical Functional Grammar
The term Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) first appeared in print in the 1982 volume edited by Joan Bresnan: The Mental Representation of Grammatical Relations, the culmination of many years of research. LFG differs from both transformational grammar and relational grammar in assuming a single level of syntactic structure. LFG rejects syntactic movement of constituents as the mechanism by which...
متن کاملProjecting LFG F-Structures from Chunks
In this paper we pursue two related goals: First, we establish a conceptual link between chunkbased syntactic structures as typically assumed in shallow parsing approaches, as opposed to principle-based syntactic structures as assumed in theoretical linguistics research. This conceptual link emerges from the study of configurational vs. non-configurational languages, their analysis within the L...
متن کاملThe Role of the Lexicon in Lexical-Functional Grammar - Example on Croatian
The LFG model is based on an enriched lexicon, which contains associations between grammatical functions and their arguments, enabling decomposition on characteristic features and is suitable for formal description of languages with a rich morphological structure and a relatively free word order. Rejecting syntactic movement of constituents as the mechanism for realization of the surface syntac...
متن کاملExtending the Applicability of Lexical Mapping Theory
LFG grants syntactic functions a central role and has developed a theory of argument structure, Lexical Mapping Theory (LMT), which is independent of phrase-structure trees and thus able to account for morpholexical derivations. Yet some fundamental phenomena falling within the scope of morpholexical analysis – such as morphosemantic (meaning-altering) operations, phenomena referred to elsewher...
متن کاملLFG System in Prolog
In order to design and maintain a latE? scale grammar, the formal system for representing syntactic knowledEe should be provided. Lexlcal Functional Grammar (LFG) [Kaplan, Bresnan 82] is a powerful formalism for that purpose, In this paper, the Prolog implementation of LFG system is described. Prolog provides a Eood tools for the implementation of LFG. LFG can be translated into DCG [Perelra,II...
متن کاملOn Interpreting F-Structures as UDRSs
We describe a method for interpreting abstract fiat syntactic representations, LFG f-structures, as underspecified semantic representations , here Underspecified Discourse Representation Structures (UDRSs). The method establishes a one-to-one correspondence between subsets of the LFG and UDRS formalisms. It provides a model theoretic interpretation and an inferen-tial component which operates d...
