Abstract
In this paper we introduce an approach to lexical description which is sufficiently powerful to support language processing tasks such as part-of-speech tagging or sentence recognition, traditionally considered the province of external algorithmic components. We show how this approach can be implemented in the lexical description language, DATR, and provide examples of modelling extended lexical phenomena. We argue that applying a modelling approach originally designed for lexicons to a wider range of language phenomena brings a new perspective to the relationship between theory-based and empirically-based approaches to language processing.
