This grammar of English embraces major lexical, phonological,
syntactic structures and interfaces. It is based on the substantive
assumption: that the categories and structures at all levels
represent mental substance, conceptual and/or perceptual. The
adequacy of this assumption in expressing linguistic
generalizations is tested. The lexicon is seen as central to the
grammar; it contains signs with conceptual, or content, poles,
minimally words, and perceptual, and expression, poles, segments.
Both words and segments are differentiated by substance-based
features. They determine the erection of syntactic and phonological
structures at the interfaces from lexicon. The valencies of words,
the identification of their semantically determined complements and
modifiers, control the erection of syntactic structures in the form
of dependency relations. However, the features of different segment
types determines their placement in the syllable, or as prosodies.
Despite this discrepancy, dependency and linearization are two of
the analogical properties displayed by lexical, syntactic and
phonological structure. Analogies among parts of the grammar are
another consequence of substantiveness, as is the presence of
figurativeness and iconicity.
