Grammar Without Transformations
Diogenes, 1976It is now nearly twenty years since Noam Chomsky's Syntactic Structures appeared, and during these twenty years many things have changed in linguistics—not least, the interest that the rest of the world now takes in what we linguists do. The reason for this is clearly because Chomsky claimed to have discovered a window into the human mind, via the ...

1988
Andrew Radford's new textbook is principally for students with little or no background in syntax who need a lively and up-to-date introduction to contemporary work on transformational grammar. It covers four main topics - the goals of linguistic theory, syntactic structure, the nature and role of the lexicon, and the function of transformations and the

Ellipsis in Transformational Grammar
2019AbstractThis chapter examines three themes concerning ellipsis that have been extensively discussed in transformational generative grammar: structure, recoverability, and licensing. It reviews arguments in favor of the analysis according to which the ellipsis site is syntactically fully represented, and compares the two variants of this analysis (the ...

Early transformational generative grammar
2022AbstractThe chapter begins by outlining the major features of Chomsky and Halle’s transformational generative grammar (TGG) in the 1950s. It discusses whether one can speak of a ‘Chomskyan revolution in the field’. The conclusion is that the vagueness of the concept of ‘scientific revolution’ means that the question will never be answered to everyone’s

What was transformational grammar?
Language Sciences, 1987Abstract Transformational generative linguistics or grammar is in a period of decline, but the answer to the question ‘What was transformational grammar?’ is still in doubt. The reason for this lies partly in the fact that most attempts at finding defining characteristics for the theory are unsatisfactory.

A Restrictive Theory of Transformational Grammar
Theoretical Linguistics, 1977A set theoretic formalization of a transformational theory in the spirit of Chomsky’s LSLT is presented. The theory differs from Chomsky’s, and more markedly from most current theories, in the extent to which restrictions are imposed on descriptive power.

Grammar-based program transformation
Proceedings. Conference on Software Maintenance, 1988., 1988A grammar-based technique is introduced for making sweeping changes, involving substantial restructuring, to large-scale software programs. Pervasive structural changes are often required to make changes in data structures, computational forms, or programming style during software maintenance. The concept of a grammar-based editor is introduced.

Generative-Transformational Grammar
1974This chapter will present an introduction to generative-transformational grammar which will illuminate the development of Noam Chomsky’s theories from the publication of his book Syntactic Structures in 1957 to the publication of his enlarged edition of Language and Mind in 1972.
