Abstract:

The book presents a new perspective on clausal syntax and its interactions
with lexical and discourse function information by analysing Hungarian
sentences. It also demonstrates ways in which grammar engineering
implementations can provide insights into how complex linguistic processes
interact. It analyses the most important phenomena in the preverbal domain of
Hungarian finite declarative and wh-clauses: sentence structure, operators,
verbal modifiers, negation and copula constructions. Based on the results of
earlier generative linguistic research, it presents the fundamental empirical
generalisations and offers a comparative critical assessment of the most
salient analyses in a variety of generative linguistic models from its own
perspective. It argues for a lexical approach to the relevant phenomena and
develops the first comprehensive analysis in the theoretical framework of
Lexical-Functional Grammar. It also reports the successful implementation of
crucial aspects of this analysis in the computational linguistic platform of
the theory, Xerox Linguistic Environment.
