Lexicase is a mononstratal ( i . e . it is not a transformational grammar ) X-bar grammar in which words are the heads of their own phrases ( i . e . there are no assumed empty phrases ).

Those linguists who work within the Chomskyan transformational grammar paradigm often believe that it is more accurate to describe Old English ( and other Germanic languages with the same word-order patterns like modern German ) as having underlying subject-object-verb ( SOV ) ordering.

Transformational grammar is a generative grammar ( which dictates that the syntax, or word order, of surface structures adheres to certain principles and parameters ) that consists of a limited series of rules, expressed in mathematical notation, which transform deep structures into well-formed surface structures.

Similar phenomena can be performed in the standard context-sensitive idiom, as done in rule-based phonology and earlier Transformational grammar, by what are known as " feeding " rules, which alter a derivation in such a way as to provide the environment for a non-optional rule that immediately follows it.

Furthermore, Kiparsky's account " is based on a specific theory of English stress elaborated by Liberman and Prince ( 1977 ) as a counter-proposal to Chomsky and Halle's " Sound Pattern of English " . " Conversely, he considers the syllables in a verse line to have a complex hierarchical structure analogous to a core proposition in Chomsky's transformational grammar as opposed to the previous theories which gave syllables a strictly linear treatment.

According to what I've read at Transformational grammar, some maintainers of this page think what I'm about to suggest would complicate the issue . "'Here is my question : "'the article says " the mechanisms described in the example above have been out of date since the late 1960s ", and I would really like to know what the current theory is to explain the transformation from " He went there " to " Where did he go ? " I tried posting this query on the talk page, but nobody answered.
