The text is the result of an April 2002-March 2005 research project on WG supported by the Japan Society for the Promotion of Science. Several chapters explore recent developments in WG and its capabilities for analyzing linguistic phenomena in various languages; they deal with formal, lexical, morphologial, syntactic and semantic matters. The final chapters examine two theoretical key concepts in WG, head and dependency, and suggest possible avenues for revising and improving the current WG. For academics encountering WG for the first time and those familiar with the theory who are interested in learning the background and potential future of the theory.
