"This study develops a bold and intriguing hypothesis about the
nature of language that reduces a wide range of empirical phenomena
to a restrictive notion of pure derivation, with intriguing and
highly suggestive results. It marks an important step forward in
the recent efforts to show that conceptually natural principles of
great generality carry us far in understanding the apparent
complexity and diversity of human languages.--Noam Chomsky,
