Surface Structure
Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) was originally advanced as a theory relating coordination and relativization. The claim was that these constructions can be analysed at the level of surface grammar, without rules of movement, deletion, passing of slash-features, or the syntactic empty category Wh-trace. Instead, CCG generalizes the notion of grammatical constituency to cover everything that can coordinate or result from extraction, via the use of a small number of operations which apply to adjacent lexically realised grammatical categories interpreted as functions
Syntax und Valenz: Zur Modellierung kohÀrenter und elliptischer Strukturen mit Baumadjunktionsgrammatiken
Diese Arbeit untersucht das VerhĂ€ltnis zwischen Syntaxmodell und lexikalischen Valenzeigenschaften anhand der Familie der Baumadjunktionsgrammatiken (TAG) und anhand der PhĂ€nomenbereiche KohĂ€renz und Ellipse. Wie die meisten prominenten Syntaxmodelle betreibt TAG eine Amalgamierung von Syntax und Valenz, die oft zu Realisierungsidealisierungen fĂŒhrt. Es wird jedoch gezeigt,
dass TAG dabei gewisse Realisierungsidealisierungen vermeidet und DiskontinuitÀt bei KohÀrenz direkt reprÀsentieren kann;
dass TAG trotzdem und trotz der im Vergleich zu GB, LFG und HPSG wesentlich eingeschrÀnkten AusdrucksstÀrke zu einer linguistisch sinnvollen Analyse kohÀrenter Konstruktionen herangezogen werden kann;
dass der TAG-Ableitungsbaum fĂŒr die indirekte Gapping-Modellierung eine ausreichend informative BezugsgröĂe darstellt.
FĂŒr die direkte ReprĂ€sentation von Gapping-Strukturen wird schlieĂlich ein baumbasiertes Syntaxmodell, STUG, vorgeschlagen, in dem Syntax und Valenz getrennt, aber verlinkt sind.

Handbook of Lexical Functional Grammar
Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG) is a nontransformational theory of
linguistic structure, first developed in the 1970s by Joan Bresnan and
Ronald M. Kaplan, which assumes that language is best described and
modeled by parallel structures representing different facets of
linguistic organization and information, related by means of
functional correspondences. This volume has five parts. Part I,
Overview and Introduction, provides an introduction to core syntactic
concepts and representations. Part II, Grammatical Phenomena, reviews
LFG work on a range of grammatical phenomena or constructions. Part
III, Grammatical modules and interfaces, provides an overview of LFG
work on semantics, argument structure, prosody, information structure,
and morphology. Part IV, Linguistic disciplines, reviews LFG work in
the disciplines of historical linguistics, learnability,
psycholinguistics, and second language learning. Part V, Formal and
computational issues and applications, provides an overview of
computational and formal properties of the theory, implementations,
and computational work on parsing, translation, grammar induction, and
treebanks. Part VI, Language families and regions, reviews LFG work
on languages spoken in particular geographical areas or in particular
language families. The final section, Comparing LFG with other
linguistic theories, discusses LFG work in relation to other
theoretical approaches
