This book presents the most complete exposition of the theory of
head-driven phrase structure grammar (HPSG), introduced in the
authors' "Information-Based Syntax and Semantics," HPSG provides an
integration of key ideas from the various disciplines of cognitive
science, drawing on results from diverse approaches to syntactic
theory, situation semantics, data type theory, and knowledge
representation. The result is a conception of grammar as a set of
declarative and order-independent constraints, a conception well
suited to modelling human language processing.

These essays apply the syntactic theory of Carl Pollard and Ivan
Sag--Head-driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG)--to a formal study
and analysis of German grammar. A wide variety of fundamental and
well-known phenomena in German grammar are addressed, including the
German passive and impersonal passive, various Mittelfeld and
Vorfeld word-order phenomena (including auxiliary stacking and the
distribution of adjuncts), and the structure of phrasal
constituents. Linguistic issues include the treatment of idioms,
word-order variation and phrase structure constituency,
subcategorization, complementation, argument structure, case
assignment, lexical rules, and syntactic ambiguity.
