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:	Does anyone have some ideas on this topic, and resources that can used in exploring the phenomenon of Grammaticization with respect to the verb ''to be''? I am writing a research paper on how the verb ''to be'' is originally used as a lexical verb but also grammaticizes as a grammatical item in some syntactic environments - aspects (that is acting as auxiliary verbs). Thank you for your concern. F.K Agama.
