TL;DR: It is shown how the approach to coordination in lfg can provide a simple and straightfoward analysis of this tense and subject asymmetric coordination pattern found in Welsh and is superior to a structurally symmetric alternative involving VP level coordination.

Broken forms in morphology
Amanda Pounder
- 01 Jan 2006
TL;DR: It will be shown that morphological brachylogy can be applied to a wide range of structural types: inflection and word-formation, including the processes of compounding, prefixation, and suffixation, whereby modificational processes such as vowel alternations may also participate.

Gapping: A New LFG Approach
TL;DR: This paper provides a new analysis of gapping in LFG, in which the deleted verb in the second conjunct is analyzed as a null verb that has a PRED value and that indicates the tense in its local clause.
An LFG Analysis of Gapping Constructions in Taif Arabic
TL;DR: This paper adopts a function-spreading approach within Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), and shows how it is able to account for the facts of gapping in TA, using mechanisms proposed independently for other construction types.

Phrase Structure and Grammatical Relations in Tagalog
Paul R. Kroeger
- 01 Nov 1992
TL;DR: Kroeger examines the history of the subjecthood debate and uses data from Tagalog to test the theories that have been put forth, and leads him to assert that grammatical relations are not defined in terms of surface phrase structure configurations, contrary to the assumptions of many approaches to syntax including the Government-Binding theory.

Constructive Case: Evidence From Australian Languages
Rachel Nordlinger
- 01 Jan 1998
TL;DR: In this paper, nonconfigurationality in Australian languages is modelled as constructive case I: case concord, case and tense/aspect/mood Constructive case II: case stacking restating the principle of morphological composition.

Coordinating constructions: an overview
Martin Haspelmath
- 18 Jul 2004
TL;DR: This volume contains seventeen papers on coordinating constructions in languages from different families and different continents and often uses the terminological conventions proposed by Haspelmath (to appear a), so they should be recapitulated here briefly.
