A number of quite basic categories and concepts do not seem to have been thought through with sufficient care; this results in a remarkable amount of unclarity and inconsistency in the analysis, and in the organization of the grammar.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:4" href="#fn:4"><sup>4</sup></a></p></blockquote> <ul><li>Aarts, F.
