Dependency grammar (DG) is a class of syntactic theories separate from In linguistics, and especially the study of syntax, generative grammar is the study of linguistic syntax using formal grammars that can in some sense generate the well-formed expressions of a natural language. The term generative grammar is also used to refer to the school of linguistics in whose theories... generative grammar. Structure is determined by the relation between a word (a head) and its dependents. One difference from phrase structure grammar is that dependency grammar does not have phrasal categories. Algebraic syntax is a theory of syntax developed by Michael Brame as an alternative to Transformational_generative grammar. Brame formulated an algebra (technically a nonassociative groupoid with inverses) of lexical items (words and phrases), or lexes for short. A lex is a string representation of a word or phrase together with... Algebraic syntax, Link grammar (LG) is a theory of syntax which builds simple, explicit relations between pairs of words, rather than constructing constituents in tree-like hierarchy. There are two basic parameters: directionality and distance. For example, in an SVO language like English, the verb would look left to form a subject... Link grammar and Extensible Dependency Grammar (XDG) is a new grammar framework based on dependency grammar. In XDG, an expression of natural language is analyzed along an arbitrary number of semi-independent dimensions, e.g. syntactic function, word order, predicate-argument structure, scope, prosodic structure and information structure. Each of these dimensions is... Extensible Dependency Grammar are types of dependency grammar.

Dependency grammar is a class of syntactic theories separate from generative grammar in which structure is determined by the relation between a word (a head) and its dependents.
Systemic-functional grammar is related both to feature-based approaches such as Head-driven phrase structure grammar and to the older functional traditions of European schools of linguistics such as British Contextualism and the Prague School.
Tree adjoining grammar is a grammar formalism which has been used as the basis for a number of syntactic theories.
Dependency grammar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (197 words)
Dependency grammar (DG) is a class of syntactic theories developed by Lucien Tesnière.
It is distinct from phrase structure grammars, as it lacks phrasal nodes.
Dependency grammars are not defined by a specific word order, and are thus well suited to languages with freer word order, such as Czech.
