good news from generative grammarians

[Tibor Kiss]

Hi everybody (as well as John N.),

I just wanted to inform you that HPSG is no longer ignored by famous
generative grammarians.  Prof. D. Pesetsky (Ferrari P. Ward Professor of
Linguistics at MIT) writes in his recent (2000) LI monograph (p. 11fn12):
"The proposal bears interesting similarities to proposals within the G/HPSG
tradition ... which treat a wide variety of syntactic relations as the
result of extremely local feature movement."

Now they're talking ...
