Ups, forgot the question mark in the subject.

Benjamin Bruening wrote a paper for Language in which he explains why
the Lexicalist Hypothesis is wrong and superfluous.

He claims that having a X°/XP distinction is enough for modeling those
restrictions that have to be modeled.

This is my reply (including a link to his paper):

Comments are welcome.

I have to deliver the reply next week. So if you have feedback, it would
be good to get it before 27th of July.

Best

	Stefan
