A restrictive theory of morphosyntactic interaction and its consequences

"In this dissertation, I develop a theory of morpho-syntactic interaction based on a principled distinction between Rule Systems and Grammatical Components. It is argued that while morphological and phrasal rules belong to distinct rule systems, they do not define distinct components. In contrast to the proponents of Strong Lexicalism, I develop a theory in which the components of syntax and lexicon are freed from inherent association with either phrasal or morphological rules. Rather, the lexicon and syntax stand in a ""level-ordered"" relationship with the objects defined by rules of the lexicon acting as atoms of the syntactic rule system."
