Sažetak
The LFG model is based on an enriched lexicon, which contains associations between grammatical functions and their arguments, enabling decomposition on characteristic features and is suitable for formal description of languages with a rich morphological structure and a relatively free word order. Rejecting syntactic movement of constituents as the mechanism for realization of the surface syntactic structure, it is based on the idea of grammatical functions presented in the lexicon. In the paper the role of the lexicon is presented, as well as its close interaction with constituent and functional structures. In a formalization of Croatian sentence structure based on LFG, a new type of lexicon organization has been proposed, containing grammatical functions relating to argument structure, new features and constraints. Theoretical models are verified through educational version of the LFG model.
