still don't know about cheese, moose and pickles, if in lexicon, I better read again.

Perhaps some linguistic analysis provide by the Chomskybot will clear up your semantical FR colloquial confusion:
Analogously, an important property of these three types of EC does not readily tolerate problems of phonemic and morphological analysis. Furthermore, the earlier discussion of deviance raises serious doubts about a parasitic gap construction. With this clarification, a subset of English sentences interesting on quite independent grounds is not quite equivalent to irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. If the position of the trace in (99c) were only relatively inaccessible to movement, a descriptively adequate grammar is not to be considered in determining the requirement that branching is not tolerated within the dominance scope of a complex symbol. It must be emphasized, once again, that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics can be defined in such a way as to impose the system of base rules exclusive of the lexicon.

Does that help?
