Richard Hudson
Presents, in the author's own summary, a theory in which syntax, morphology and meaning are all represented as a single network of labelled dependency links between words, rather than as separate grammatical components.
Lucien Tesnière
Proposes that a sentence's structure is a hierarchy of dependency relations radiating from the verb rather than a nested arrangement of phrases, founding dependency grammar as an alternative to constituency-based syntax.
