HPSG and Minimalism

Keywords: HPSG, Minimalism

Robert D. Borsley & Stefan Müller. 2021. HPSG and Minimalism. In Stefan Müller, Anne Abeillé, Robert D. Borsley & Jean-Pierre Koenig (eds), Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar: The handbook (Empirically Oriented Theoretical Morphology and Syntax 9), 977–1030. Berlin: Language Science Press. DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.5599874.

This chapter compares work done in Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar with work done under the heading Minimalist Program. We discuss differences in the respective approaches and the outlook of the theories. We have a look at the procedural/constraint-based views on grammar and discuss the differences in complexity of the structures that are assumed. We also address psycholinguistic issues like processing and language acquisition.
