Constituent Ordering: Toward a Theory of Linearization in Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

摘要本项目的主要目标是在头部驱动相结构语法（HPSG）框架内推进句法研究，特别关注线性化（语言表达中元素的线性顺序或时间序列）问题。拟议的研究既包括实证调查，也包括与理论基础和计算验证相关的正式问题。要解决的正式问题集中在顺序域上，它被假设为代表语言表达的线性顺序的属性，与它们的分层短语结构不同。特别是，订单域可能包含在层次结构中不是姊妹的元素。目的是发展一个精确的有序域和现有的HPSG理论的综合，形式化到足够的程度，可以计算实现和测试。＊＊＊

The proposed research encompasses both empirical investigations and formal issues connected with theoretical foundations and computational verification. The formal issues to be addressed focus on order domains, which are hypothesized as attributes that represent the linear order of linguistic expressions distinct from their hierarchical phrase structure. In particular, an order domain may contain elements that are not sisters in the hierarchical structure. The aim is to develop a precise synthesis of order domains and existing HPSG theory, formalized to a sufficient degree that it can be computationally implemented and tested. ***
