Robert Levine and Detmar Meurers:
Locality of Grammatical Relations
795K/820, Spring 2003
Literature
As general preparation, some understanding of the setup of HPSG and
the idea of locality of selection is helpful. So we recommend having a
look at chapters 1, 3, and 7 of
- Pollard and Sag (1994): Head-Driven Phrase Structure
Grammar. University of Chicago Press
The two issues which caused us to look closer at cases where locality
seems to be violated are:
Other issues addressed in the seminar stem from the following
