Abstract:

What is the most descriptively and explanatorily adequate format for
syntactic structures and how are they constrained? Different theories
of syntax have provided various answers: sets, feature structures,
tree diagrams… Building on formal and empirical insights from a wide
variety of approaches spanning more than 70 years (including
Transformational Grammar, Relational Grammar, Lexical-Functional
Grammar, and Tree Adjoining Grammar),  this monograph develops a new,
mathematically grounded, framework in which objects known as
<i>graphs</i>, and the constraints that follow from them, are argued
to provide the best characterisation of the system of expressions and
relations that make up natural language grammars. This new approach is
motivated and exemplified via detailed and formally explicit analyses
of major syntactic phenomena in English and Spanish.
