Beschreibung
Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) is a constraint-based or declarative approach to linguistic knowledge, which analyses all descriptive levels (phonology, morphology, syntax, semantics, pragmatics) with feature value pairs, structure sharing, and relational constraints. In syntax it assumes that expressions have a single relatively simple constituent structure. This volume provides a state-of-the-art introduction to the framework. Various chapters discuss basic assumptions and formal foundations, describe the evolution of the framework, and go into the details of the main syntactic phenomena. Further chapters are devoted to non-syntactic levels of description. The book also considers related fields and research areas (gesture, sign languages, computational linguistics) and includes chapters comparing HPSG with other frameworks (Lexical Functional Grammar, Categorial Grammar, Construction Grammar, Dependency Grammar, and Minimalism).

Anne Baeillé
Anne Abeillé is Professor of Linguistics at University of Paris, and a member of Laboratoire de Linguistique formelle. She was research assistant at U.Penn, and assistant professor at University of Paris 8. She did her PhD on Lexicalized Tree Adjoining grammars at University of Paris 7, before moving to Head-Driven Phrase structure Grammar and collaborating with Ivan Sag.
She has mainly worked on the syntax of French and Romance languages, but also on Mauritian (a French-based creole) and English. Her main research goal is to combine a wide range of empirical data (from large corpora and experiments) with theoretical and formal analysis. Her publications include 5 books and more than 70 papers, in journals such as Langue française, Langages, Language, Journal of Linguistics, Lingua, Glossa, TAL, and conference Proceedings, such as COLING, ACL, LREC, HPSG, CUNY, Amlap, and CSSP.
She has been responsible for several research projects, including the FrenchTreebank. She now is responsible for the strand Experimental Grammar in a cross-linguistic perspective of the EFL LabEx, and a coeditor (with Danièle Godard) of the Grande Grammaire du français.
