| Title: | Re 15.3231 Deep Structure |
| Submitter: | Pius ten Hacken |
| Description: | Two obvious remarks any Chomskyan linguist would make in this respect are:
1. Phrase structure rules and transformations are meant to describe the grammatical competence of a speaker, not the processes of production or interpretation of linguistic performance. 2. Since the early 1980s, individual rewrite rules such as S -- NP VP are no longer state-of-the-art. For this reason, the problems mentioned by John Harris do not really arise in Chomskyan linguistics.
