Basic Idea Typed feature structure HPSG: First glance Developing a feature structure based syntactic theory Type ⇒ Typed feature structure ◮ One of the first things in developing a theory of grammars is to classify linguistic entities. ◮ Paradigmatic relations: We cluster “good” feature structures into various types. ◮ Syntagmatic relations: We combine “good” feature structures according to several general principles. ◮ HPSG employs Typed feature structure (TFS), a mathematical device, to express symbolic and structured constraints of linguistic objects. 1. Types are associated with feature-value constraints expressed as TFS’s. 2. Linguistic objects “of the same type” share its feature-value constraints. 3. A concrete linguistic object may define other feature-value constraints, which are compatible with its type. Weiwei Sun Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar I 13/61
