In this position paper, I take a look at some of the key "design principles" of LFG and draw some parallels to developments in research on Natural Language Processing (NLP) and computational linguistics over the past few years. A number of recent trends and findings in NLP research seem to have precedents in earlier LFG work in ways that have not received much attention so far.
