Abstract:

The standard view of the form-meaning interfaces, as embraced by the great
majority of contemporary grammatical frameworks, consists in the assumption
that meaning can be associated with grammatical form in a one-to-one
correspondence. Under this view, composition is quite straightforward,
involving concatenation of form, paired with functional application in
meaning. In this book, we discuss linguistic phenomena across several
grammatical sub-modules (morphology, syntax, semantics) that apparently pose a
problem to the standard view, mapping out the potential for deviation from the
ideal of one-to-one correspondences, and develop formal accounts of the range
of phenomena. We argue that a constraint-based perspective is particularly apt
to accommodate deviations from one-to-many correspondences, as it allows us to
impose constraints on full structures (such as a complete word or the
interpretation of a full sentence) instead of deriving such structures step by
step.

Most of the papers in this volume are formulated in a particular
constraint-based grammar framework, Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar. The
contributions investigate how the lexical and constructional aspects of this
theory can be combined to provide an answer to this question across different
linguistic sub-theories.
