- One reason that I mostly confine myself to merely presenting the generative
- line on things rather than trying to make a serious argument that
- it's better than, say, operator grammar, is that I don't know. There's
- something about the Harrissian approach that I just don't get, &
- until I either get or it figure out what is wrong with it I have no
- intention of saying much of anything against it.
-
- In general, I think that current linguistic theories should be regarded
- as just being resources that are out there, and that from a PCT
- perspective, one should just take whatever insights, if any, that
- they might seem to offer. And, at the moment, I see Motor Control
- as a *much* higher priority target.
