French auxilliaries and clitics have been analysed in the flame of . (Unification Categorial Grammar). Concatenation of a functor sign and an adjacent argument sign is the basic operation of the model ; unification allows (a) to verify ff constraints on concatenation are respected ; (b) to produce a flow of information between the functor sign and the argument sign. | AUXILIARIES AND CLITICS IN FRENCH UCG GRAMMAR by K. BASCHUNG BES A. CORLUY T. GUILLƠTIN Universite de Clermont II 34 Avenue Carnot F-63037 Clermont-Ferrand France Laboratoữes de Marcoussis Route de Nozay F-91460 Marcoussis ABSTRACT French auxilliaries and clitics have been analysed in the frame of . Unification Categorial Grammar . Concatenation of a functor sign and an adjacent argument sign is the basic operation of the model unification allows a to verify ư constraints on concatenation are respected b to produce a flow of information between the functor sign and the argument sign. The rules of the grammar and the design structure of the sign allows to express a the concatenation between French auxilliaries etre and avoir and the participle verb form within a single pattern b transitions between clitics in a systematic way. Two complex questions of French syntax are thus covered in a fairly simple way. The UCG Model Unification C ategorial G rammar is a new grammatical model proposed by an Edinburgh team headed by Ewan Klein in CALDER 86 and ZEEVAT 86 . UCG is a feature grammar incorporating some basic insights from GPSG GAZDAR 85 and HPSG POLLARD 84 . Functional application applies in UCG as in categorial grammars it allows for concatenation of a functor with an adjacent argument Unification is a basic operation which allows a to verify if constraints on concatenation are respected b to produce a flow of information between functor and argument. This information together with some defined aspects of the information carried by the functor will be finally inscribed in the resulting concatenated sign.
