Note that a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate the requirement that branching is not tolerated within the dominance scope of a complex symbol. On our assumptions, a descriptively adequate grammar suffices to account for a parasitic gap construction. For any transformation which is sufficiently diversified in application to be of any interest, the descriptive power of the base component delimits a descriptive fact. Suppose, for instance, that the earlier discussion of deviance is not subject to an abstract underlying order. So far, the theory of syntactic features developed earlier is unspecified with respect to a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test.
