The paper presents a system for construction classification representing multiple levels of specification, such as grammatical functions, grammatically reflected actants, and lexical semantics, aligned with a compositional system of sign combination mediating between a construction perspective and a valence perspective. The system uses a feature structure formalism based on Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) but with essential elements from Lexical Functional Grammar (LFG; cf. Bresnan in Lexical functional syntax. Blackwell, Oxford, 2001), and has as implementation background large scale HPSG grammars. While on the one extreme being able to encode word level selection in multi-word patterns, the system on the other provides a compact format for construction specification, allowing for cross-language comparison both in construction and valence frame inventories. Pivotal in these capacities as well as in sign formalization in general are the grammatical functions. The paper motivates the usefulness of the various functionalities and illustrates the way in which they work together in a formally uniform system.

基于结构的组合语法

该论文提出了一种结构分类系统，该系统表示语法功能、语法反映的行为者和词汇语义等多层次的规范，并与介于结构视角和价视角之间的符号组合构成系统保持一致。该系统使用基于头部驱动短语结构语法 (HPSG) 的特征结构形式主义，但具有来自词法功能语法 (LFG; 参见 Bresnan in Lexicalfunctional syntax. Blackwell, Oxford, 2001) 的基本元素，并具有作为实现背景的大型缩放 HPSG 语法。一方面能够在多词模式中对词级选择进行编码，另一方面系统为构造规范提供了一种紧凑的格式，允许在结构和价架清单中进行跨语言比较。这些能力以及一般符号形式化的关键是语法功能。本文激发了各种功能的实用性，并说明了它们在形式统一的系统中协同工作的方式。
