Linguistics beyond grammaticality
In my response to Sampson's Grammar without grammaticality, I will focus on two issues. First, I will develop an extended interpretation of Sampson's Norwegian example, essentially following Sampson in arguing that there is no clear-cut distinction between grammatical and ungrammatical structures in any given language, but that, instead, there are simply more and less conventionalized structures. Second, I will discuss some methodological and theoretical consequences of this interpretation (or affirmation) of Sampson's arguments, arguing that traditional grammatical theory could be replaced by a general linguistic theory of the occurring and the non-occurring.
