1 What is Paradigm Function Morphology?
... Recent work in morphological theory reveals considerable disagreement over the question of whether lexemes have heads; some have argued that all lexemes are headed, and others that no lexeme is headed. Stump (1995, 2001:118) argues for a kind of middle ground, according to which a lexeme is headed i ...

A Lexicalized Tree Adjoining Grammar for English
... This paper presents a sizable grammar for English written in the Tree Adjoining grammar (TAG) formalism. The grammar uses a TAG that is both lexicalized (Schabes, AbeillC, Joshi 1988) and feature-based (Vijay-Shankar, Joshi 1988). In this paper, we describe a wide range of phenomena that it covers. ...
