Searle VIII 414
ChomskyVsStructuralism: phrase structure rules alone cannot resolve ambiguities.
E.g. >Active/Passive.
Solution/Chomsky: transformation rules, transformation phrase markers by permutation, insertion, eradication of elements in other phrase markers - then the syntax consists of two components: base and transformation.
VIII 418
Deep structure/Chomsky: determines the meaning.
>Meaning.
Surface structure: determines the phonetic form (late works: sometimes the meaning).
Syntax/Chomsky: is to be separated from semantics - (according to Searle): man is a syntactic creature, the brain is syntactic.
>Syntax.
VIII 421
SearleVsChomsky: from this it would follow that if one day we had syntactically modified forms, we would have no language anymore, but something else.
VIII 421
Generative grammar/NeogrammariansVsChomsky: semantics crucial for the formation of syntactic structures.
>Young turks, >Neogrammarians.
