In this sense, it follows in the footsteps of Generalized Phrase Structure Grammar (GPSG) (Gazdar et al., 1985), Lexical Functional Grammar (Bresnan et al., 2016), Head-Driven Phrase-Structure Grammar (HPSG) (Pollard and Sag, 1994) and Combinatory Categorial Grammar (CCG) (Steedman, 2000).
yet, different from these other approaches, it adheres to the principles of Construction Grammar (CxG) (Goldberg, 2005;Östman and Fried, 2005;Hoffmann and Trousdale, 2013).constructions are treated as first-class citizens in the grammatical organisation of a language.
