C-structure and f-structure<br />

An alternative that assumes syntactic information is<br />

factored into a categorial structure (c-structure) and<br />

a feature structure (f-structure) as parallel, copresent<br />

levels of representation.<br />

A string is grammatical if it satisfies the wellformedness<br />

conditions on both structures.<br />

Let’s start with the c-structure: a syntactic tree of the<br />

usual sort, satisfying<br />

Lexicalism: every X 0 dominates a fully formed word—a<br />

unit satisying morphological integrity and consisting<br />

at least of a phonological representation—of<br />

category X.
