Lexical‐Functional Grammar: Functional Structure

TL;DR: The paper establishes that there are certain similarities between these examples and tough constructions but that the examples involving finite complements cannot be subsumed under a predication analysis which seems appropriate for the tough cases.

TL;DR: The authors collected corpus data on clitic tripling in Rioplatense and used it to build a corpus of clitics and their associated constituent(s) with agreement features (1, 2, 3, Sg/Pl for singular/plural, M/F for masculine/feminine).

TL;DR: It is argued that the latter class of verbs are in fact raising verbs and go on to show that in some dialects the interaction of EOPV and aspectual predicates permits a pattern reminiscent of Copy Raising.

TL;DR: This book presents the most complete exposition of the theory of head-driven phrase structure grammar, introduced in the authors' "Information-Based Syntax and Semantics," and demonstrates the applicability of the HPSG approach to a wide range of empirical problems.

TL;DR: In this article, twelve articles are grouped into three sections, as follows: "I. Syntactic Representation: " Lexical-Functional Grammar: A Formal Theory for Grammatical Representation (R. Kaplan and J. Bresnan); Control and Complementation (J.Bresnan).

TL;DR: Unaccusativity is an extended investigation into a set of linguistic phenomena that have received much attention over the last fifteen years Besides providing extensive support for David Perlmutter's hypothesis, the authors contributes significantly to the development of a theory of lexical semantic representation and to the elucidation of the mapping from lexical semantics to syntax.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a formal model of syntactic and functional structures of universal grammars, including binding, predication, and control, based on the notion of bound anaphors.
