Phenogrammatical Labelling in Convergent Grammar: the Case of Wrap

We propose a treatment of phenogrammatical (φ-) labelling for multimodal categorial grammars (MMCGs) that combines the advantages of earlier methods due to Oehrle (1994) and to Morrill and Solias (1993). We illustrate with a remarkably simple and straightforward analysis of wrap within the framework of convergent grammar (CVG), a kind of MMCG where the tectogrammatical (τ -)modes correspond to traditional notions of grammatical function. The paper is organized as follows. Sections 1 and 2 review the systems of Oehrle and of Morrill and Solias respectively. Section 3 presents our proposed version of φ-calculus. Section 4 sketches the basics of (applicative) CVG with φ-labelling. And section 5 illustrates our handling of wrap with analyses of English complement wrap, Chamorro VSO order, and English particle ‘movement’.
