Transformations and Discourse Analysis Projects 40.

Abstract

Transformational grammarians usually suppose that deletions occur on the output of the conjunction rule. The deletions account for the fact that and ordinarily does not stand between two complete sentences. One could suppose as easily that some sub-part of one sentence could be embedded onto another sentence with and appearing at the point of embedding. Either of these descriptions would serve the purpose. The former was chosen. (Author)
