Abstract

The Extended Standard Theory elaborated in Chomsky (1977) and Chomsky and Lasnik (1977) postulates the existence of an autonomous interpretive level: the Logical Form (LF) component. Representations at this level are derived from S-Structure representations via transformations (see May (1977)). These representations represent the structural meaning of a sentence and abstract away from other aspects of meaning such as word meaning or pragmatics: I. D-Structure — <move α> → S-Structure—<move α>→ LF-Structure
