Syntactic analysis is a fundamental phase in NLP (Natural Language Processing) domain. This phase occurs in several applications and at different levels. Moreover, it wasn’t spilled in domain research, especially for Arabic language. In fact, most of researchers working on Arabic language treated simple structures and neglected complicated ones such as relatives, coordination, ellipse and juxtaposition. In this context, the present work lies within the construction of a HPSG (Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar) grammar treating Arabic coordination. The established grammar is specified on TDL (Type Description Language) and experimented with a parser generated by LKB (Linguistic Knowledge Building) system.
