Abstract

 In this paper, we propose a FLAT ANALYSIS of English clause structure in which there is no syntactic VP constituent. Wherever in the derivation of any individual sentence, a unit appears, which looks superficially like a VP, we argue that it is either syntactically a subject less clause, as in “VP-preposing” and “VP-coordination”, or a unit which is constructed solely at the level of logical form, as in “VP-ellipsis” and “VP-anaphora”. The construction of logical forms is carried out in two stages. Firstly, each syntactic rule is accompanied by a translation rule which compositionally gives a corresponding logical form. This aspect of the proposal has affinities with ideas from Lexical Functional Grammar, in particular GLUE semantics (Dalrymple 2001), and Combinatory Categorial Grammar (Steedman 1996), although neither of these frameworks assumes a flat clause structure. The logical forms which are so constructed may then themselves be the input to a further stage of higher-order unification. This procedure manipulates them in a variety of ways. For example creating the partitions required by information structure (Pulman 1997). This aspect of the proposal has affinities with proposals for a flat structure for English clauses in Role and Reference Grammar (Van Valin 2005).
