I initiated the thread with the above topic more than a week ago, and the discussion has long petered out. I thank everybody who took part in it. I had intended to summarize the discussion in a concluding post to this thread. However, and this is why it took
me so long, I tried to integrate all of the observations and suggestions in a set of webpages devoted to the problem of linguistic representations. Small surprise, this was not feasible in two days. Those who are interested in the product may have a look at</p>

Several among you will find their observations integrated there. Any kind of criticism or enhancement will be highly welcome.</p>

Just a remark on Peter's contribution: I fully back your observation that we need some basic agreements on several aspects of linguistic methodology. It is of the utmost importance that science be free. But free does not mean arbitrary. Science also needs quality
standards. Methodology, especially its „lower levels“ like representation of linguistic data, is<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><span lang="en-US" class="">susceptible of standardization without any prejudice to freedom of science. On the contrary,
it would<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="en-US" class="">free researchers from routine problems and</span><span lang="en-US" class=""><span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span>contribute to objectivizing procedures and results<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span></span><span lang="en-US" class="">of
scientific work.</span></p>
