Studies on Graph-Theoretical Linearization of Syntactic Structuresin Generative Grammar

点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

A method is proposed of obtaining linear phonetic expressions from Bare Phrase Structure assumed in the Minimalist Program of the Generative Grammar, by adopting graph theory established in mathematics, information science, computer science, and related are as, independently from linguistic theories. And its applicability to multidominance structures, probable for analyses of sharing phenomena, is verified. For this method, head movement should be substitution into one of multiple specifiers, and the spell-out applies not to heads as terminal symbols in Bare Phrase Structures, but as labels of their maximal projections in linearization.
