Transformational classes of grammars
Given two Chomsky grammars G and \-G, a homomorphism φ from G to \-G is, roughly speaking, a map which assigns to every derivation of G a derivation of \-G in such a manner that φ is uniquely determined by its restriction to the set of productions of G.

A mathematical model of transformational grammars
A mathematical model of transformational grammars is presented which incorporates most current versions. Among other things, the model has a formal definition of transformations and a general scheme for ordering them. Numerous examples are given to illustrate the theory.

The Arbitrary Basis of Transformational Grammar [PDF]
THE ARBITRARY BASIS OF TRANSFORMATIONAL GRAMMAR GEORGE LAKOFF University of Michigan Baker & Brame, in this issue of LANGUAGE, correctly observe that, in three of the cases cited in my paper on global rules (Lakoff 1970), the effect of global rules can be obtained by the use of ad hoc coding mechanisms using arbitrary gram- matical elements, in one ...

Transformational priors over grammars [PDF]
This paper proposes a novel class of PCFG parameterizations that support linguistically reasonable priors over PCFGs. To estimate the parameters is to discover a notion of relatedness among context-free rules such that related rules tend to have related probabilities.

Pronouns and the problem of reference in transformational grammar
The problem of reference is one of the main problems in transformational gram mar. It does not concern only the pronominalization and reflexivization rules (both transformational and interpretive) but also many other rules, such as, for instance ...

A computer system for transformational grammar [PDF]
A comprehensive system for transformational grammar has been designed and implemented on the IBM 360/67 computer. The system deals with the transformational model of syntax, along the lines of Chomsky's Aspects of the Theory of Syntax .

Analyzing Muhammad Hamasa Abd al-Latif's grammatical views according to Chomsky's generative-transformational theory [PDF]
One of the important issues in the affairs of the Arabic is the study of the relationship of this language with modern linguistic research theories, especially after the emergence of the new science of language as an independent science. At the beginning

The reception of early transformational grammar in Europe
The early success in the United States of Chomsky’s book Syntactic Structures and the theory of transformational-generative grammar that it introduced raises the question of the reception of the theory in other countries.
