Basic Idea Typed feature structure HPSG: First glance<br />

Motivation<br />

CFG treats each grammatical category symbol as atomic without<br />

internal structure.<br />

⇒ Two categories are either identical or different.<br />

⇒ There is no mechanism for saying that two categories are alike<br />

in some ways, but different in others.<br />

Words and phrases in NLs typically behave alike in certain<br />

respects, but not others.<br />

Cross-cutting grammatical properties<br />

3rd singular subject plural subject<br />

direct object NP denies deny<br />

No direct object NP disappears disappear<br />
