Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar

This page provides information about activities related to the grammatical framework of Head-Driven Phrase Structure Grammar (HPSG) at the Center for the Study of Language and Information (CSLI) and the Department of Linguistics at Stanford University.

The HPSG Project conducts its activity under the umbrella of CSLI's Linguistic Grammars Online Project, which has developed various large-scale HPSG grammars. These grammars have blended into HPSG a number of features taken from work in Berkeley-Style Construction Grammar. The resulting synthesis is the emerging framework of Sign-Based Construction Grammar (SBCG), currently being developed by Ivan Sag, Paul Kay, Charles Fillmore, Laura Michaelis-Cummings, and a number of other collaborators.
