HPSG理论简介

A review of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

本文概要介绍了HPSG理论(中心语驱动短语结构语法)。表层导向、基于约束和词汇主义是HPSG的主要理论主张;特征结构是HPSG描述语法信息的主要手段,词汇类体系结构和词汇规则构成了HPSG的词汇体系;中心语——补足语规则、中心语——指定语规则等以及中心语特征原则、值传递原则等构成了HPSG的规则系统。文章最后对HPSG和GB理论进行了简要的比较。

This paper makes a brief review of HPSG(Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar). The leading concepts of HPSG are surface oriented, constraint-based and strictly lexicalist. Feature structure is the main method to describe syntactic information. Type hierarchy and lexical rules constitute HPSG's lexical system. HPSG's rules include, among others, head-complement rule and head-specifier rule. Its operating principles include head feature principle and valance principle. This paper also makes a brief comparison between HPSG and GB.
