Derivation or Representation? Hubert Haider & Klaus Netter 1
The Issue Derivation and Representation - these keywords refer both
to a conceptual as well as to an empirical issue. Transformational
grammar was in its outset (Chomsky 1957, 1975) a derivational
theory which characterized a well-formed sentence by its
derivation, i.e. a set of syntactic representations defined by a
set of rules that map one representation into another. The set of
mapping rules, the transformations, eventually became more and more
abstract and were trivialized into a single one, namely "move a," a
general movement-rule. The constraints on movement were singled out
in systems of principles that ap ply to the resulting
representations, i.e. the configurations containing a moved element
and its extraction site, the trace. The introduction of
trace-theory (d. Chomsky 1977, ch.3 17, ch. 4) in principle opened
up the possibility of com pletely abandoning movement and
generating the possible outputs of movement directly, i.e. as
structures that contain gaps representing the extraction sites."
