chomskybot: This suggests that any associated supporting element cannot be arbitrary in the extended c-command discussed in connection with (source: #950). So far, the fundamental error of regarding functional notions as categorial appears to correlate rather closely with the levels of acceptability from fairly high (link: #34) to virtual gibberish (link: #1981). On our assumptions, the descriptive power of the base component is not to be considered in determining a general convention regarding the forms of the grammar. On the other hand, the systematic use of 10 #complex #symbols is not quite equivalent to a descriptive #fact. Thus the appearance of 4 parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed grammar. cc @question
