Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar




A HPSG grammar includes principles and grammar rules and lexicon entries which are normally not considered to belong to a grammar. The formalism is based on lexicalism. This means that the lexicon is more than just a list of entries, it is in itself richly structured. Individual entries are marked with types. Types form a hierarchy.

The basic type HPSG deals with is the form) and ''SYNSEM'' (the syntactic and semantic information), both of which are split into subfeatures. Signs and rules are formalised as typed Feature Structures .

Various Parser s based on the HPSG formalism have been written and optimizations are currently being investigated. An example of a system analyzing German sentences is provided by the University of Bremen {Link without Title} .
