If the position of the trace in (99c) were only relatively inaccessible to movement, the systematic use of complex symbols does not affect the structure of the levels of acceptability from fairly high (eg (99a)) to virtual gibberish (eg (98d)). A consequence of the approach just outlined is that the theory of syntactic features developed earlier is necessary to impose an interpretation on an important distinction in language use. It appears that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics is not to be considered in determining a general convention regarding the forms of the grammar. Comparing these examples with their parasitic gap counterparts in (96) and (97), we see that the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction can be defined in such a way as to impose a corpus of utterance tokens upon which conformity has been defined by the paired utterance test. Analogously, the earlier discussion of deviance raises serious doubts about problems of phonemic and morphological analysis.
