2 LEXICAL-FUNCTIONAL GRAMMAR
</SectionTitle>
    <Paragraph position="0"> Lexical-functional gramnmr (LFG) is a linguistic theory which fits nicely into computational approaches that use unification IShieber 1986\]. A lexical-functional grammar assigns two levels of syntactic description to every sentence of a language: a constituent structure and a functional structure. Constituent structures (c-structures) characterize the phrase structure configurations as a conventional phrase structure tree, while surface grammatical functions such as subject, object, and adjuncts are represented in functional structure (f-structure), Because of space limitations we will not go into the details of the theory. One can refer to Kaplan and Bresnan \[Kaplan and Bresnan 1982\] for a thorough discussion of the LFG formalism.</Paragraph>
