The LDG framework
Lexical
Decompositional Grammar (LDG) provides a principled account for phenomena in
which predicates and/or arguments are added to a base verb (or noun). LDG
assumes four levels of representation, each having its own structural properties:
·
Conceptual
Structure (CS),
·
Semantic
Form (SF),
·
Theta
Structure (TS), and
·
Morphology/
Syntax (MS),
and a set of principles that constrain the mappings
between these levels.
