dh: Isn't the LIH the same as the principle of morphology-free syntax
(sister of phonology-free syntax) that Zwicky and Pullum have been
advocating for many years? E.g. Zwicky 1992, Some choices in the theory of
morphology. In R. Levine (ed.) Formal Grammar: Theory and implementation,
OUP, 327-71, especially 354. Indeed, isn't it inherent in any monostratal
analysis which generates surface structures directly?
