Abstract

Phrase structure grammars and their extensions provide us with powerful tools for describing constituent structures, but the range and extent of their adequacy is a matter of debate. There is, however, one particular extension to phrase structure grammars that has been almost universally adopted at one point or another by formal linguists: X-bar theory. X-bar theory serves both as an extension to phrase structure grammars and places a number of restrictions on the form that phrase structure rules (PSRs) can take.

Keywords: extension, linguists, extension, constituent, debate

Subject

Computational Linguistics Grammar, Syntax and Morphology
