A proposed transformational rule
-
- Author(s) / Creator(s)
-
In Section 1 I shall attempt to demonstrate how the need for a transformational rule, Tuni, uniting features under an NP node, rises in a transformational grammar containing a certain type of deletion transformation. Tuni will be investigated further (formally in Section 2, informally in Section 3) and it will be seen that Tuni is a valuable transformational rule in more ways than those mentioned in Section 1 and may lead to simplification of the grammars of a relatively large number of languages.
