Lexical-Functional Grammar
An Introduction to Parallel Constraint-Based Syntax
With this textbook, Yehuda N. Falk provides an introduction to the theory of Lexical-Functional Grammar, aimed at both students and professionals who are familiar with other generative theories and now wish to approach LFG. Falk examines LFG’s relation to more conventional theories—like Government/Binding or the Minimalism Program—and, in many respects, establishes its superiority.
