An Introduction to Unification-Based Approaches to Grammar

By S.M. Shieber

Book Overview

This book surveys the important concept of unification as it relates to linguistic theory and, in particular, to Functional Unification Grammar, Definite-Clause Grammars, Lexical-Function Grammar, Generalized Phrase Struture Grammar, and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. The notes include careful and correct definitions, as well as well-chosen examples of actual grammars, and a discussion of the relationships of computational systems and linguistic theories which use ideas from unification.
