Abstract

This document presents FG, a unification categorial grammar for French. The salient characteristics ofFG are given in section 1, stressing differences with respect to standard UCG. Section 2 describes thegrammar structure. Section 3 presents the flow of information between concatenating signs: (i) thefour basic UCG operations, (ii) the formal peculiarities of FG, (iii) the underlying variables rulingword ordering, (iv) the feature-based encoding of the information related to these variables, (v) theaccounting for word order without order values, (vi) the accounting for non adjacent linearityphenomena and finally (vii) the general principles underlying the encoding of information in lexicalentries. Section 4 presents FG coverage.
