Talk:Syntactic movement

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] added expert tag

I flagged this article as being in need of an expert on the subject because it seems rather unsystematic. Most importantly, the article should begin by putting the concept of syntactic movement into context -- is it a phenomenon recognized by all theories of syntax, or specific to specific approaches, e.g. generative or transformational grammar? Also, the example presented as "typical" seems pretty arcane -- perhaps a more accessible example could be used? Joriki (talk) 01:33, 18 December 2007 (UTC)

All major histories of linguistics would rather show that this is not at all restricted to transformational grammar. One example, is Graffi's volume cited in the text —Preceding unsigned comment added by Semmelweiss (talk • contribs) 21:25, 11 January 2008 (UTC)
