lexical functional grammar a formal system for grammatical representation

In LFG , the subcategorization requirements of a particular predicate are expressed by its semantic form : FOCUS ( ( r SUBJ ) ( r OBLon ) ) in Figure 1 . The subcategorization requirements expressed by semantic forms are enforced at f-structure level through completeness and coherence well-formedness conditions on f-structure ( Kaplan and Bresnan 1982 ) : An f-structure is locally complete iff it contains all the governable grammatical functions that its predicate governs . An f-structure is complete iff it and all its subsidiary f-structures are locally complete .
