Overview Handouts

• The Development of Linking Theory in LFG (ps)
  This handout was put together for a talk within a Workshop on Lexical Semantics and Constraint-Based Theories, organized by Valia Kordoni at ESSLLI99, Utrecht. It provides an overview of the history and newer developments within LFG's linking theory. While it is certainly subjective and presumably not complete, I hope it can be of use nevertheless. For complaints/suggestions/additions, please feel free to contact me. I'm hoping to update this handout from time to time so that it can really function as a resource.
