Abstract
Phrase structure and dependency PHRASE STRUCTURE and DEPENDENCY are the two most essential notions underlying the analysis of linguistic structure.Traditionally, phrase structure, abbreviated as PS, refers to a division of a sentence into PHRASES or CONSTITUENTS that can be represented in a LABELLED BRACKETING of the sentence, as in (1.1).(1.1)CONTEXT-FREE GRAMMAR (CFG) is a mathematical formalism that describes exactly these labelled bracketings of sentences.Important aspects of CFG are introduced in section 1.1.The choice which words are to be grouped into constituents, and the naming (S, NP, VP) of the constituents is directly influenced, if not defined, by the notion dependency between words and phrases, which is introduced in section 1.2.Traditional grammatical frameworks such as Government-Bindingtheory assume a tight interaction between dependency, phrase structure, and word order.This exercises a strong influence on the design of formalisms for grammatical description.At the core of the research reported in this thesis is a tendency to take a small step back with respect to a number of such traditional assumptions.* Constant growth is intended to roughly capture two properties of natural language: (i) it features recursion or unbounded embedding and (ii) such recursions appear, in some
