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.

Summary:   Colleagues,

Yesterday's question about needing a term for a distinction in
adjective use yielded lots of helpful responses. The terms I'll
settle on are "relational" and "qualitative". Thanks especially to
Robert Beard.

(ECONOMIC is mainly relational; ECONOMICAL is mainly qualitative;
EDUCATIONAL in 'educational institution' is relational; in
'educational experience' it's qualitative; etc.)
