Augmented X'-schemes
Neculai Curteanu · 1988
The paper presents the embedding of an original parsing strategy for Romanian, called Segmentation-Cohesion-Dependency (SCD), into Chomsky's well-known Government and Binding (BG) theory. In order to bring closer the SCD concepts and techniques to the GB theory, the following questions have had to be dealt with: (1) a specification of the Principle of Maximal Projection (PMP), (2) extending the X'-theory (X - bar) by introdusing Augmented X' (AX')-schemes, these ones being obtained by (3) specific constraints imposed on the new shapes of X'-schemes. (4) The AX'-schemes can be represented in terms of a tree (paranthetic) language, whose translation in a logic programming language follows naturally.
