The Transformations of Transformations.
Lin, Francis Y.
Language & Communication, v20 n3 p197-253 Jul 2000
Harris's original idea of transformations has been changed several times in Chomsky's work. This article explicates these transformations, arguing that though their motivations are highly understandable, these transformations are not necessary for understanding the workings of natural languages.
