Introduction The theme of this conference is "Generative Grammar since Syntactic Structures" (Chomsky, 1957). As Chomsky has noted, Syntactic Structures was based on "lecture notes for an undergraduate course at MIT:" This [Syntactic Structures] was a sketchy and informal outline of some of the material in LSLT [The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory], along with some material on finitestate grammars and formal properties of grammars from 1956. (Chomsky, 1975:3) It is in LSLT, first circulated in 1955, that Chomsky sets out in more detail the theory of generative grammar. In this work "the 'realist' position" is assumed. The theory is "understood as a psychological theory that attempts to characterize the innate human 'language faculty'" (Chomsky 1975:37). Hence from its earliest beginnings the central motivation for the study of generative grammar (generative linguistics, I-linguistics, biolinguistics) has
