Where to Find What

The two page table that follows gives an overview of what types of trees occur in various tree families with pointers to discussion in this report. An entry in a cell of the table indicates that the tree(s) for the construction named in the row header are included in the tree family named in the column header. Entries are of two types. If the particular tree(s) are displayed and/or discussed in this report the entry gives a page number reference to the relevant discussion or figure.5.1 Otherwise, a $\surd$ indicates inclusion in the tree family but no figure or discussion related specifically to that tree in this report. Blank cells indicate that there are no trees for the construction named in the row header in the tree family named in the column header. Two tables are given below. The first one gives the expansion of abbreviations in the table headers. The second table gives the name given to each tree family in the actual XTAG grammar. This makes it easier to find the description of each tree family in Chapter 6 and to compare the description with the online XTAG grammar.
