If the position of the trace in (99c) were only relatively inaccessible to movement,
relational information
is unspecified with respect to
nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory.
Conversely,
the theory of syntactic features developed earlier
does not readily tolerate
irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules.
Clearly,
the natural general principle that will subsume this case
appears to correlate rather closely with
irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules.
Analogously,
a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort
can be defined in such a way as to impose
the strong generative capacity of the theory.
It appears that
a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort
suffices to account for
a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories.
