Abstract

This paper is designed to show a model of explaining word form within the framework of the constraint-based grammar of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar. As a basic process, we examine the major two approaches of describing word form within transformational and non- transformational theories. The former includes the approaches of Standard Theory (Chomsky 1957, 1965) and Government and Binding Theory (Chomsky, 1981), and the latter does those of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (Gazdar et al. 1985) and Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (Sag and Pollard 1987, 1994; Sag and Wasow 1998). This paper reveals the difference between both theories through the comparison of the transformational and non-transformational analyses toward the English raising and control constructions. Within the framework of Constraint- Based approach of HPSG, the raising and control construction phenomena can be explained effectively without assuming inappropriate devices such as transformational rules and abstract PRO, which are necessary ones within the framework of transformational theories.
