Abstract:

This volume is the most comprehensive reference work to date on Lexical
Functional Grammar (LFG). The authors provide detailed and extensive coverage
of the analysis of syntax, semantics, morphology, prosody, and information
structure, and how these aspects of linguistic structure interact in the
nontransformational framework of LFG.

The book is divided into three parts. The first part examines the syntactic
theory and formal architecture of LFG, with detailed explanations and
comprehensive illustration, providing an unparalleled introduction to the
fundamentals of the theory. Part two explores non-syntactic levels of
linguistic structure, including the syntax-semantics interface and semantic
representation, argument structure, information structure, prosodic structure,
and morphological structure, and how these are related in the projection
architecture of LFG. Chapters in the third part illustrate the theory more
explicitly by presenting explorations of the syntax and semantics of a range
of representative linguistic phenomena: modification, anaphora, control,
coordination, and long-distance dependencies. The final chapter discusses
LFG-based work not covered elsewhere in the book, as well as new developments
in the theory.

The volume will be an invaluable reference for graduate and advanced
undergraduate students and researchers in a wide range of linguistic
sub-fields, including syntax, morphology, semantics, information structure,
and prosody, as well as those working in language documentation and
description.
