Abstract
The last decade of work in syntax has seen a marked demotion in the importance of transformations in the classical sense. We see this not only in the various explicit proposals to do away with transformations altogether but also in recent developments in transformational theories themselves. With the reduction of the transformational component to the single rule “move alpha” almost all of the work of generating “all and only” the syntactic structures of a language must be borne by other devices and principles.
