Control and semantic resource sensitivity by Asudeh, A

“…An analysis is presented using Glue Semantics for Lexical Functional Grammar. It demonstrates that structure sharing and resource sensitivity can be reconciled without giving up or relaxing either notion. …”

The Negation Jangan from a Lexical Functional Perspective by Truly Almendo Pasaribu

“…This paper is an investigation into the properties of the negation jangan in the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar. The analysis shows that the negation jangan can negate verbs functioning as predicate in a sentence. …”

Information structuring in Akan question-word fronting and focus constructions by Charles Marfo, Adams Bodomo

“…Using the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar, we show that both whquestion fronting and focus constructions share representations in the constituent and functional structure. …”

Syntax and Semantics of Italian Poetry in the First Half of the 20th Century by Rodolfo Delmonte

“…We then introduce LFG – Lexical Functional Grammar – as the theory that allows us to connect syntactic noncanonical structures with informational structure and psycholinguistic theories for complexity evaluation. …”

Double object constructions and 'bill' verbs in English by Thomas, V, Victoria Thomas

“…This calls into question whether it is possible to determine which of the objects in a DOC is the ‘true’ object by employing such diagnostics, and has significant implications for notions of objecthood, especially within Lexical Functional Grammar. The study indicates that a substantial rethink is needed with regards to traditional views about objecthood.…”

Minimal phrase structure: a new formalized theory of phrase structure by Lowe, J, Lovestrand, J

“…We formulate our proposal within Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), providing an empirically and theoretically superior model for phrase structure compared with standard versions of X0 theory current in LFG.…”

Using LFG a-structure to determine the subcategorization frames of Setswana verbs by Ansu Berg, Laurette Pretorius, Rigardt Pretorius

“…In building a Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) computational grammar for Setswana, it is therefore necessary to determine, in a principled way, the subcategorization frames for both basic verb roots as well as extended verb roots since verbal extension is a productive process in Setswana. …”

A modular approach to evidentiality by Asudeh, A, Toivonen, I

“…However, it has received scant attention in Lexical-Functional Grammar, despite the fact that LFG’s modular Correspondence Architecture is particularly well-suited to illuminating the phenomenon. …”

Participles in Rigvedic Sanskrit: the syntax and semantics of adjectival verb forms by Lowe, JJ

“…The author applies formal linguistic analysis, within the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), to the complex and often controversial data, to produce a comprehensive formal model of how participles are used. …”

French de and en as expressions of the genitive case: a unified analysis within LFG and computational implementation in XLE by Leonel Figueiredo de Alencar, Christoph Schwarze

“…In order to test our analysis automatically on a large amount of data, we implemented it in a computational grammar of French in the Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) formalism using the XLE system. …”

Constructions with Lexical Integrity by Ash Asudeh, Mary Dalrymple, Ida Toivonen

“…In this paper, we consider the word/phrase and lexicon/grammar distinction in light of Lexical-Functional Grammar and its Lexical Integrity Principle. …”

The Logic of Pronominal Resumption by Asudeh, A

“…The theory is formalized in terms of Glue Semantics for semantic composition, with a Lexical-Functional Grammar syntax. The theory achieves a novel unification of hitherto heterogeneous resumption phenomena. …”

Ditransitive Constructions in Lugbarati by Bebwa Isingoma, Peace Yikiru

“…Using the architecture of Lexical Functional Grammar, the study theoretically delineates the general syntactic properties of ditransitive constructions in Lugbarati, as well as the pronominalization of arguments in these constructions, since non-animate internal arguments in Lugbarati are grammatically realized as null elements. …”

Analysing 'Wh' echo questions: a typological perspective with special reference to Hungarian by Mycock, L

“…I provide what is, to the best of my knowledge, the first exploration of the relevant typological space, before presenting the first analysis of ‘wh’- EQs in the framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), taking Hungarian as the major case-study language. …”

Relational nouns, pronouns, and resumption by Asudeh, A

“…This paper presents a variable-free analysis of relational nouns in Glue Semantics, within a Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) architecture. Relational nouns and resumptive pronouns are bound using the usual binding mechanisms of LFG. …”

Economy of expression as a principle of syntax by Dalrymple, M, Kaplan, RM, King, TH

“…</p> <p>In this paper we explore the conceptual and formal issues of Economy as it has been discussed within the theory of Lexical Functional Grammar. In LFG the metric of Economy is typically formulated in terms of the size of one component of syntactic representation -- the surface constituent structure tree -- but it is often left unstated which trees for a given meaning are to be compared and how they are to be measured. …”

The nature of configurationality in LFG by Snijders, L

“…For my analysis I employ Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG), a non-derivational framework which is particularly well-suited to account for languages in which grammatical functions are not tied to specific phrase structural positions, due to its parallel architecture. …”

The Passive and Stative Constructions in Ndebele by Langa Khumalo

“…Mchombo (1993, 2004) looks at the passive and the stative constructions, as two distinct types of verbal extensions, working within the lexicalist theory of syntax, the Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) theoretical framework. He proposes that the passive morpheme suppresses the agent of the transitive predicate, while the stative morpheme deletes it. …”

Divergence and mismatches in Portuguese morphology and syntax by Thomas, ALR

“…<p>This thesis proposes an integration of Paradigm Function Morphology (PFM) as the morphological component within the Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG) architecture, applying the combined theoretical framework LFG-PFM to account for diachronic data. …”

A lexical-functional analysis of Swahili relative clauses by Lipps, J

“…The goal of these discussions is an analysis of the strategy distribution from within the syntactic framework of Lexical-Functional Grammar (LFG), which itself receives a brief overview. …”
