| Summary: | In this chapter we consider the analysis of noun phrases in LFG. As a preliminary, in Section 1 we go through a number of criteria that can be used to distinguish noun phrases from other phrase types. Degree of configurationality at clause level and its consequences for c-structure is a well-studied phenomenon in the LFG literature, and in Section 2 we evaluate how the conclusions drawn for clausal structure can be applied to noun phrases. In Section 3 we review the different approaches that have been taken to the functional structure and argument structure of noun phrases. In Section 4 we explore briefly how discourse functions may be expressed within the noun phrase. |
