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

9410532波拉德摘要这个项目的主要目标是在中心语驱动的短语结构语法的框架内推进句法研究，特别关注线性化(语言表达中成分的线性顺序或时间连续)的问题。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有关的形式问题。要解决的形式问题集中在有序域上，有序域被假设为表示语言表达的线性顺序的属性，不同于它们的层级短语结构。具体地，有序域可以包含在分层结构中不是姐妹的元素。其目的是开发有序域和现有HPSG理论的精确综合，形式化到足以使其可以计算实现和测试的程度。***

9410532 POLLARD ABSTRACT The principal goal of this project is to advance syntactic research within the framework of head-driven phase structure grammar (HPSG), with special attention to issues of LINEARIZATION (linear order, or temporal succession, of elements in linguistic expressions). 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. ***
