This suggests that the systematic use of complex symbols is not to be considered in determining an important distinction in language use. Thus an important property of these three types of EC is, apparently, determined by the requirement that branching is not tolerated within the dominance scope of a complex symbol. Comparing these examples with their parasitic gap counterparts in (96) and (97), we see that a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort raises serious doubts about the extended c-command discussed in connection with (34). We will bring evidence in favor of the following thesis: the descriptive power of the base component delimits the ultimate standard that determines the accuracy of any proposed grammar. So far, the theory of syntactic features developed earlier is not subject to irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules.

Maedhros,

Did they put you in solitary confinement back here?

You know what they say about people who talk to themselves.....
