Looking for the author and the quote

[José-Luis Mendívil]

I'm not sure this is what you are looking for, but (the need of) the 
distinction between 'grammaticallity' and 'unnaceptability' was 
discussed interestingly in Newmeyer's 1983 (still) remarkable book:

Newmeyer, F.J. (1983): Grammatical Theory. Its Limits and Its 
Possibilities, The University of Chicago
Press: Chicago y Londres.

Best regards,
José-Luis Mendívil
