If one does not mean a T-model, one should then not visualize
one's architecture that way. <br>

<pre wrap="">Hi everybody,
These are the pictures of the HeadLex16 conference, the joint conference
of LFG and HPSG:

As you can see, we had a lot of fun!
One comment on this picture:

Somebody (TM) suggested that HPSG is rather similar to GB since it has a
T model as shown on the slide.
There is a nice article by Jonas Kuhn about interfaces in constraint
based theories:
@incollection{Kuhn2007a,
Address = {Oxford},
Author = {Jonas Kuhn},
Booktitle = {The {Oxford} Handbook of Linguistic Interfaces},
Editor = {Gillian Ramchand and Charles Reiss},
Pages = {613--650},
Publisher = oup,
Title = {Interfaces in Constraint-Based Theories of Grammar},
Year = {2007}}
He discusses LFG and HPSG and concludes that interfaces are
unproblematic for these approaches and that they are right since they do
not assume a strict level ordering as is assumed in GB and in a
different form in Phase-based Minimalism.
The T model was problematic since there are certain interactions between
PF and LF. In order to capture those, features had to be stipulated in
syntax that were needed to model these interactions.
As far as phases are concerned they are also incompatible with what
psycholinguists tell us. We do not wait till a phase (or phrase) is
complete. Information is used and interpreted as soon as it is available
independent of whether it is intonation or context information.
HPSG is entirely compatible with this, it does not assume level ordering
or T-models.
As for the commonalities between HPSG and Minimalism (and Categorial
Grammar) see

Have a lot of fun with the pictures and the papers.
Greetings from Berlin
