Dependency grammar, often abbreviated as DG, is a particular approach to the syntax of natural languages. DGs view words as directly linked to each other, whereby the links are directed. Phrases consist of a head/root word and its dependents.

How do surface and deep syntax differ in dependency grammars?
That depends of course on the particular dependency grammar (DG) that one chooses. There are many versions of DG, and they disagree about such matters in important ways. Lucien Tesnière, the father of …

Do formal language theory have concepts corresponding to dependency grammars?
Yes and no. The same sources of recursivity in syntax, i.e. coordination and embedding, exist in both phrase structures and dependency structures. Both broad approaches can also be formalized in a way …

How does a dependency grammar generate strings?
The context free rewrite rules - as associated most with early Chomskyan syntax - can easily be reworked in terms of dependency: G = (T, R), where T is the set of terminals and R is the set of rewrite …

I am looking for guidance in forming mathematically-inspired rules for dependency syntax. I know about the rewrite rules for dependency structures produced by Hays (1964), but I am wondering whether t …

In what ways might dependency grammar be a better fit for free word order languages?

Dependency Grammar constraints
Projectivity is a concept that applies to both dependency grammars (DGs) and constituency grammars (CGs). The extent to which it is applicable to both approaches to syntax is discussed and illustrated …
