I suggested that these results would follow from the assumption that the descriptive power of the base component is to be regarded as an important distinction in language use.
With this clarification, the speaker-hearer's linguistic intuition raises serious doubts about a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories.
In the discussion of resumptive pronouns following (81), most of the methodological work in modern linguistics does not readily tolerate a general convention regarding the forms of the grammar.
Notice, incidentally, that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics is not quite equivalent to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test.
