Naive Semantics
Main Article Content
Abstract
The author argues that a common feature of post-generativist linguistic theories is that they do not attempt to formulate regularities in the most general form possible, and derive the actual linguistic phenomena from those general principles using long, complex derivations. The article focuses on those consequences of this turn or difference which affect the relationship of grammar proper to semantics (e.g., consequences regarding the principle of compositionality).
