Lexicon-Grammar is a method and a praxis of formalized description of human languages, which considers that the systematic investigation of lexical entries is presently the main challenge of the scientific study of languages. The development of Lexicon-Grammar began in the late 1960s under Maurice Gross.
Its theoretical basis is Zellig S. Harris's distributionalism, and notably the notion of transformational rule. The notational conventions are meant to be as clear and comprehensible as possible.
