This chapter examines constructions involving coordination, starting with its analysis in early LFG works. Section 16.1 investigates the syntax of simple clausal coordination. Section 16.2 discusses coordinate structures involving verbs and other argument-taking predicates and the challenges that they present. Section 16.3 discusses f-structure features and their behavior in coordinate structures, with a particular focus on the distinction between distributive and nondistributive features. Section 16.4 presents the theory of nonconstituent coordination, and Section 16.5 discusses unlike coordination. Section 16.6 discusses coordination patterns crosslinguistically. Section 16.7 examines the semantics of clausal, predicate, and verb coordination. Finally, Section 16.8 examines noun phrase coordination and the syntactic and semantic properties of coordinated noun phrases, which may include person, number, and gender features.

This final chapter provides brief discussion of some LFG work that has not been covered elsewhere in the book. One of the original aims of LFG was to produce a psychologically realistic linguistic theory, one that would not only account for observed patterns of linguistic behavior but would also provide insight into the mental representation of language. Section 18.1 discusses work on language processing and acquisition, including work which seeks to integrate LFG with Optimality Theory. A number of authors have explored diachronic linguistic developments from an LFG perspective, and have shown that such developments can be modeled and analyzed within the framework of LFG. Work on diachronic change within LFG is reviewed in Section 18.2. Finally, Section 18.3 focuses on computational issues, discussing work on parsing and generation within LFG, as well as computational implementations of LFG.

This chapter explores the theory of the relation between syntax and meaning, examining how the meaning of an utterance is determined on the basis of its syntactic structure. The existence of a separate level of semantic structure or s-structure, related to the f-structure by a correspondence function is assumed. Some previous LFG approaches to semantics and the syntax-semantics interface are briefly reviewed before an introduction to the glue approach to semantic composition (Section 8.5). This approach, which is adopted in the rest of the book, provides a firm theoretical foundation for the discussions and analyses that are presented. The properties of thefragment of linear logic that are used in this book are introduced in Section 8.7. A detailed account of the semantics of quantification within the glue approach is provided in Section 8.8. The representation of semantic features is discussed in Section 8.9, and how to represent tense and aspect inSection 8.10.

This chapter focuses on how to formulate descriptions of and constraints on c-structure, f-structure, and the relation between them. We show how these constraints, which are a part of the formal architecture of LFG theory, are important in the statement of universal typological generalizations about linguistic structure. A formal linguistic theory such as LFG must provide efficient and transparent ways of stating linguistic facts and generalizations clearly and precisely, in a way that is conducive to a solid understanding of the linguistic structures that are described and how they are related. Section 5.1 focuses on constituent structure rules, Section 5.2 on functional constraints, and Section 5.3 on the correspondence between c-structure and f-structure. The kind of variability that LFG predicts is illustrated in Section 5.4 by examining simple structures in four typologically different languages.

This chapter sets the scene for the rest of the work. The chapter first describes the historical roots and development of Lexical Functional Grammar, a nontransformational theory of linguistic structure, within the tradition of generative grammar. The chapter then explains the fundamental assumptions of the theory, its lexicalist orientation, and the central role that functional syntactic relations play. Subsequently, the structure of the rest of the book is set out, providing detailed accounts of each part, with brief summaries of each chapter. The chapterthen provides advice on how best to use the book, highlighting the primary focus of chapters and how the chapters relate to specific areas of linguistic structure and analysis, before concluding with references on other LFG overviews and introductions to the theory.
