CFG’s: Chock Full of Goofs
Requires massively redundant rules Fails to capture generalizations
S→NP-3p-sg VP-3p-sg S→NP-3p-pl VP-3p-pl S→NP1 VP1 S→NP2 VP2
Rules are arbitrary S→NP1 VP2

that can be decomposed into features.

HPSG Types and Features

into words and phrases

HPSG Types and Features
Initial type hierarchy, p. 61, fig. 25 First important subtypes divide expressions
into words and phrases All expressions have the feature HEAD

HPSG Types and Features
Initial type hierarchy, p. 61, fig. 25 First important subtypes divide expressions
into words and phrases All expressions have the feature HEAD with a
value from the pos types

Agreement
Some pos types exhibit agreement, so we group them into their own subtype agr-pos, which carries the feature AGR
AGR feature takes the value agr-cat, which is a sub-type of feature-structure
It has (at least) the features PER and NUM PER takes the values {1st,2nd,3rd} NUM takes the values {sg, pl} See p. 70, fig. 49

How much of this is universal?
Other languages have different values?
All languages have all features and values, but optimality-like constraints ensure that only some show up?

The VAL feature
A feature of expressions
![Page 14: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
The VAL feature
A feature of expressions Takes the value val-cat, which has the
features COMPS and SPR
![Page 15: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
The VAL feature
A feature of expressions Takes the value val-cat, which has the
features COMPS and SPR These “represent the combinatoric potential
of the word or phrase”
![Page 16: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
The VAL feature
A feature of expressions Takes the value val-cat, which has the
features COMPS and SPR These “represent the combinatoric potential
of the word or phrase” COMPS takes the value itr, str, or dtr; p.62,
fig. 27 All expressions have this feature (so far)
![Page 17: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Underspecification
A type can be unspecified for a particular feature
This picks out a larger class of feature structures (it includes more kinds of feature structures)
Underspecification allows some kinds of generalizations that we couldn’t get from CFGs, p. 63, fig.28
![Page 18: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
The SPR feature
A generalization of the notion ‘determiner’ Distinguishes N, NOM, and NP SPR + for NP SPR – for NOM
![Page 19: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
The SPR feature
A generalization of the notion ‘determiner’ Distinguishes N, NOM, and NP SPR + for NP SPR – for NOM SPR + or SPR – for N
![Page 20: Analyzing Features of Grammatical Categories Show my head to the people; it is worth seeing. --Feature structure, to Ivan Sag in a dream](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032800/56649d3f5503460f94a1942e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The SPR feature
A generalization of the notion ‘determiner’ Distinguishes N, NOM, and NP SPR + for NP SPR – for NOM SPR + or SPR – for N
Also used to distinguish S and VP S is SPR + VP needs a subject NP to the left, so it is SPR – Huh? p. 64, fig. 34

Team 1: lexical entry for the noun “verb”
As in, “Weird can be a verb”
Team 2: lexical entry for the verb “verbs”
As in, “Calvin verbs the word ‘weird’.”

Agreement Rule
Agreement features get “passed up” from daughters to mothers
See rule, p. 70, fig. 50 Tree in 51

Head Feature PrincipleThere is a wisdom of the head…
--Charles Dickens
Every headed phrase has a head daughter with the same head values
General form: p. 72, fig. 53 Headed rules: p. 73, fig. 54, esp. 54d
