Abstract:

Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) is a constraint-based or
declarative approach to linguistic knowledge, which analyses all descriptive
levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics) with feature
value pairs, structure sharing, and relational constraints. In syntax it
assumes that expressions have a single relatively simple constituent
structure. This volume provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the
framework. Various chapters discuss basic assumptions and formal foundations,
describe the evolution of the framework, and go into the details of the main
syntactic phenomena. Further chapters are devoted to non-syntactic levels of
description. The book also considers related fields and research areas
(gesture, sign languages, computational linguistics) and includes chapters
comparing HPSG with other frameworks (Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial
Grammar, Construction Grammar, Dependency Grammar, and Minimalism).
