Within the tradition of generative grammar, the most prominent focus of
linguistic research has been the syntactic component, the part of language
concerned with the grammatical organization of words and phrases. The present
study will develop and defend a view of the syntactic component that is on
one hand thoroughly within the generative tradition but on the other markedly
at odds with views of syntax that have developed in mainstream generative
grammar (MGG).1 Our approach concurs in many respects with many alternative
theories of generative syntax, most notably Head-Driven Phrase Structure
Grammar (Pollard and Sag 1987; 1994), Lexical-Functional Grammar (Bresnan
1982a; 2001), and Construction Grammar (Fillmore 1988; Fillmore and Kay
1993; Zwicky 1994; Goldberg 1995; to appear); it also shares commonalities
with others such as Autolexical Syntax (Sadock 1991; 2003) and Role and
Reference Grammar (Van Valin and LaPolla 1997). We will refer to this collection
on occasion as ‘‘the alternative generative theories.’’
