Abstract
This chapter is concerned with the LFG constituent structure theory in general, and non-projecting words within that theory in particular. C-structure representation s in LFG are constrained by X’-theory (Chomsky 1970, lackendoff 1977, Bresnan 1977, 1982a). In that sense, c-structure representations resemble the phrase structural representations of various other syntactic theories; for example, Government and Binding Theory, some versions of the Minimali st Program, and the Optimality Theoretic syntax developed in Grimshaw (1997).
