Structuralism - Ferdinand de Saussure
Chomsky
Standard theory
- Phrase structure rules + lexicon -> deep structure
- Deep structure --> surface structure through transformations
- surface structure --> phonology
Government and binding theory
- X' theory + lexicon -> D structure
- D structure --(move α)--> S-structure --> PF,LF
- Principles and parameters
Minimalism
- No surface or deep structures
- Lexical items combine through MERGE governed by constraints
- Outputs : PF to articulation, LF to conceptual/intention system
