This book defends in part a particular elaboration of the stylistic
rule component of the grammatical model first presented in Chomsky
and Lasnik (1977). It is argued that stylistic rules share a number
of fundamental properties, most significantly that they
characterize noncanonical focusing constructions and that they make
no contribution to the logical forms (LFs) of sentences they apply
to in particular regard to truth conditional interpretation. The
work includes a discussion of Auxiliary Inversion constructions in
English, arguing that these constructions also sometimes involve
focusing, though not stylistic. An approach to the interpretation
of these sentences is suggested, employing a concept of
interpretative templates: rules relating S-structure and LF for
which some independent evidence is suggested.
