This collection of papers reports our attempt to sketch how
Japanese grammar can be represented in a constraint-based
formalism. Our first attempt of this nature appeared a decade ago
as Japanese Phrase Structure Grammar (Gunji 1987) and in several
papers following the publication of the book. This book has evolved
from a technical memo that was a progress report on the Japanese
phrase structure grammar (JPSG) project, which was conducted as an
activity of the JPSG Working Group at ICOT (Institute for
New-Generation Computing Technology) from 1984 to 1992. JPSG
implements ideas from recent developments in phrase structure
grammar formalism, such as head-driven phrase structure grammar
(HPSG), (see Pollard & Sag 1987, 1994) as applied to the
Japanese language. The main goal of this project was to state
various grammatical regularities exhibited in natural language in
general (and in Japanese in particular) as a set of local
constraints. The book is organized in two parts. Part I gives an
overview of developments in our framework after the publication of
Gunji (1987), introducing our fundamental assumptions as well as
discussing various aspects of Japanese in the constraint based
formalism and summarizing discussions of the JPSG Working Group
during the above-mentioned period. Naturally, in the period after
the publication of the above book, our discussion was centered on
topics not covered in the book.
