ID/LP grammar

ID/LP grammar

An ID/LP grammar is a formal grammar that distinguishes immediate dominance (ID) constraints from linear precedence (LP) constraints. Whereas traditional phrase structure rules incorporate dominance and precedence into a single rule, ID/LP maintains separate rule sets, which need not be processed simultaneously.

For example, a typical phrase structure rule might say S => NP VP indicating that an S node dominates an NP node and a VP node, and that the NP precedes the VP in the surface string. In ID/LP grammars that rule would only indicate dominance, and a separate rule indicating linear precedence, such as " [NP,VP] " would also be given.

The idea first came to prominence as part of generalized phrase structure grammar; the ID/LP approach is also used in head-driven phrase structure grammar, lexical functional grammar, and other unification grammars.
