Arc pair grammar

Arc pair grammar

In linguistics, Arc Pair grammar is a syntactic theory developed by Paul Postal and David E. Johnson which is a formalized continuation of relational grammar developed by David M. Perlmutter and Postal.

Like relational grammar, arc pair grammar is greatly concerned with grammatical relations (as opposed to the constituent structure focus of other generative theories like versions of Chomskyan transformational grammar).

This theoretical framework has proved to be not very popular among syntacticians.
