Am I correct in assuming you've not actually read any of Chomsky's syntatic work?

- WaxProlix 12y agoNo, I've read quite a bit of it, though mostly pre-1990.
- meepmorp 12y agoOk, it just doesn't seem like you've got a good handle on what UG is.
- WaxProlix 12y agoUG is different to different people, and has been different in different ages. Someone into OT might conceive of universal constraints or rankings as being 'UG', whereas x bar era sybtacticians etc might have another view. Feel free to engage in a discussion if you feel like it, but if not thanks anyway - your criticism, such as it is, is noted. I'll try and make time to catch up on some more reading.
