Linear Phrase Structure Grammar

Abstract

The current model aims to give homomorphic explanation on syntax as well as semantics with linear operation, which is based on filled and to-be-filled categories. Filled categories are similar to slash categories of GPSG but with different effect. To-be-filled categories are provided as default value from ID rules. A sentence is not considered complete until to-be- filled categories are satisfied. The rules in this model are not only contex-free but also binary so that default value assignment becomes possible.
