Lexicon and Grammar: The English Syntacticon |
| • | Provides an explicit (generative), syntax-based theory of "well-formed lexical entry" |
 |
| • | Argues systematically for c-selection and against s-selection, developing an "LF Case Filter" to predict possible complement combinations |
|
| • | Assigns theta roles via principles rather than by lexical stipulation |
|
| • | Correlates the traditional dichotomy of inflection and derivation with a theory-based difference in insertion level. |
|
| • | Demonstrates that for English, "possible lexical entry" coincides with the range of attested complement structures |
