Abstract

The framework of Transformational Grammar used in the 1960s and early 1970s made use of a set of phrase structure rules to generate an underlying Deep Structure, and a set of transformational rules that modified this structure in various ways. While this framework generated a wide range of productive work in characterizing the grammar of particular languages, there was a concern that the system was too powerful in that it could express both natural and unnatural patterns. Conditions on Transformations, along with other work in the 1970s, provided an answer to this concern, uncovering and formulating constraints on the application of transformational rules. Knowledge of a language can be expressed in the form of a system of rules (a grammar) that generates the language. The chapter considers conditions on the functioning of grammars once again, specifically, conditions on how transformations apply.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
