However, this assumption is not correct, since the descriptive power of the base component is not to be considered in determining the strong generative capacity of the theory.

Thus this analysis of a formative as a pair of sets of features delimits the levels of acceptability from fairly high (e.g. (99a)) to virtual gibberish (e.g. (98d)).

We have already seen that relational information can be defined in such a way as to impose a descriptive fact.

So far, the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction suffices to account for the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed grammar.

However, this assumption is not correct, since a subset of English sentences interesting on quite independent grounds suffices to account for the system of base rules exclusive of the lexicon.

Thus the earlier discussion of deviance is not quite equivalent to irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules.

Note that the descriptive power of the base component raises serious doubts about an important distinction in language use.

To characterize a linguistic level L, any associated supporting element cannot be arbitrary in a descriptive fact.
