Lexical Functional Grammar

This textbook, like all textbooks, was born of necessity. When I went looking for a suitable textbook for my course on Lexical-Functional Grammar at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, I discovered that there wasn’t one. So I decided to write one, based on my lecture notes. The writing accelerated when, while I was on sabbatical at Stanford University (August 1999– February 2000), Dikran Karagueuzian of CSLI Publications expressed interest in publishing it.
