Oxford University Press - Modular Design of Grammar Book

Explore the latest research in linguistic modules and interfaces with Modular Design of Grammar: Linguistics on the Edge. Published by Oxford University Press, this volume provides a deep look into Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG). The text details how LFG uses a modular design to model the linguistic system through discrete submodules. These include constituent structure, functional structure, argument structure, semantic structure, and prosodic structure. Each module maintains its own coherent properties and connects to others via correspondence functions. Following a detailed introduction, Part I examines the nature of linguistic structures, interfaces, and representations within the LFG architecture, making it an essential resource for those studying advanced syntax and grammar.
