Optimalitytheoretic Lexical Functional Grammar
Mark S. Johnson · Natural language processing · 2002
This paper begins with a review of Bresnan's proposals concerning inflectional systems, and evaluates the extent to which they make empiricallytestable predictions. While Bresnan's current proposal is not yet precise enough to enable one to determine just what the range of possible agreement systems is predicted to be, it does seem that several putative linguistic universals concerning agreement can be stated in her framework.
