The Structural Design of Language

By Thomas S. Stroik, Michael T. Putnam

In this book, Stroik and Putnam take on Turing's challenge. They argue that the narrow syntax – the lexicon, the Numeration, and the computational system – must reside, for reasons of conceptual necessity, within the performance systems.

Query:   In the absence of any (known) test, I am currently working on a
grammaticality judgment task involving knowledge of the strong
crossover phenomenon in wh-questions and relative clauses. I am
particularly interested in a task suitable for adult second language
learners of English. I have two questions:

1. Does anyone know of an existing task suitable for my purpose?

2. Would anyone be willing to look at my task and provide any
suggestions/comments?

Thanks in advance. I'll post a summary if the need arises.
