= Discontinuous-constituent phrase structure grammar
{wiki=Discontinuous-constituent_phrase_structure_grammar}
Discontinuous-constituent phrase structure grammar (DC-PSG) is a type of grammar framework that accommodates non-contiguous constituents in the structure of sentences. In traditional phrase structure grammars, constituents are expected to be contiguous, meaning that the elements making up a phrase appear in a continuous stretch of text. However, natural language often presents constructions where constituents are separated by other elements, making it challenging to represent these structures using standard contiguous grammar models.
