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.
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. Dependency grammars stand in contrast to constituency grammars (=phrase structure grammars). Constituency grammars do not view words as directly linked to each other, but rather they take words to be grouped into phrases via phrasal nodes.
