Revised Extended Standard Theory

修正的扩展标准理论

The name given to the revised version of the extended standard theory, proposed by Noam Chomsky in the mid-1970s, following the adoption of the trace convention on the application of movement rules. There are several aspects to the ‘revision’; the base component of the grammar now incorporates the lexical hypothesis and the X-Bar convention; the notion of surface structure is supplemented by the notion of shallow structure, which provides the input to the semantic rules; there are two semantic components and two levels of semantic representation; and the descriptive power and number of transformation is much reduced.

诺姆·乔姆斯基在本世纪70年代中期继采用移位规则使用的语迹规约后提出的扩展的标准理论的修正版。“修正”包括以下几方面：语法的基础部分现包含词汇假设和X-杠规约；表层结构的概念又有浅层结构概念的补充，后者为语义规则提供输入；有两个语义部分和两个语义表征平面；转换的描写生成力和数目大为缩减。
