Abstract

It is easy to agree and equally easy to disagree with the two main positions of Sam Featherston, respectively, namely, that grammar theory would benefit from improving standards of data assessment, and, that syntactic well-formedness is inherently gradient rather than dichotomist. I subscribe to the first position and I see good grounds for not subscribing to the second claim. Since the two positions are dependent, denying the second has implications for accepting the first.
