Introduction Background Criticisms of Chomsky's Standard Theory come from within the TG grammar, and the issue is on the relationship between syntax and semantics. Thus TG grammar divides into: --interpretative semantics,represented by Chomsky,J.Katz,R.Jackendoff,who emphasize that semantics is just for the purpose of interpretation /explanation and syntax and semantics are two separate parts;

Introduction Background After taking Jackendoff's advice,Chomsky revised Standard Theory twice: First,Extended Standard Theory(EST)on the basis of the publication of Deep Structure, Surface Structure and Semantic Interpretation 1972): Second,Revised Extended Standard Theory (REST)on the basis of Essays on Form and Interpretation (1977). People later generally refer to EST Model
