Case in Role and Reference Grammar

2012
AbstractThis article discusses the theory of case assignment in role and reference grammar (RRG). RRG is a monostratal, non-derivational theory which posits a direct linking between syntax and semantics; discourse-pragmatics may play a role in this linking.

Aspectual features in Role and Reference Grammar

Revista Española de Lingüística Aplicada/Spanish Journal of Applied Linguistics, 2014
The kernel of the semantic representation of a predicate in Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) is based on its characterization in terms of an Aktionsart typology based on Vendler’s (1957) classes plus some additional elements from Smith (1997) and Dowty (1979).

The Cambridge Handbook of Role and Reference Grammar

2023
Role and Reference Grammar (RRG) is a theory of language in which linguistic structures are accounted for in terms of the interplay of discourse, semantics and syntax. With contributions from a team of leading scholars, this Handbook provides a field-defining overview of RRG.

Parsing for Role and Reference Grammar

2008
Parsing of human languages is a well studied subject, but most algorithms will handle either fixed word order languages or free word order languages. In this paper we describe extensions to a chart parser in order to enable varying degrees of word order flexibility and parsing via templates instead of rules.

Radical Role and Reference Grammar (RRRG)

2013
Starting from the idea of a “holistic approach” (Van Valin 1980) based on text interpretation and communication analysis, the chapter sketches a radical, i.e. back to the roots, remodelling of standard RRG (Van Valin & LaPolla 1997; Van Valin 2005, 2010).

Advances in Role and Reference Grammar

1992
This volume presents research on major issues in syntactic theory within Role and Reference Grammar. This theory was first presented in detail in Functional Syntax and Universal Grammar [FSUG], and these papers represent both expansions and applications of the theory to a wide range of phenomena. The first section contains an introduction to the theory

A prosodic projection for Role and Reference Grammar

2008
The purpose of this chapter is to introduce a prosodic projection into the RRG inventory of grammatical representation. In particular this projection enables investigation of prosodic aspects of information structure (focus structure) within the RRG framework to proceed alongside existing investigation of syntactic and other means of expressing and ...

A Role and Reference Grammar parser 
for German

2014
This paper describes the development of a sentence parser for German based on Role and Reference Grammar (RRG). German has a number of characteristics which are very challenging to a computational approach to syntactic processing that is semantically motivated. These include the German sentence structure, which is organised as a “bracket structure”, in
