Seminar: Einführung in die Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

Di 10:15-11:45, Raum Arbeitszimmer
Master Linguistik, Modul 4: Sprachstruktur und Modul 5: Sprachverarbeitung

Bitte melden Sie sich bei Moodle an.

This course develops a modell of the German language. The lecture provides an introduction into the following main concepts:

• representation of valence information and semantic information,
• grammar rules, and
• lexical rules.

These devices will be explained by discussing the following phenomena:

• clause structure,
• relatively free constituent order,
• non-local dependencies (fronting in declarative sentences and relative clauses),

The analyses will be coached in the framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG).
