摘要

An attempt to construct a generative grammar of French with a coverage comparable to that of traditional grammars has failed. A description has been arrived at in the course of this work, however; it is much more complex than expected, and turns out to be entirely taxonomic. This result calls into question the validity of the so-called theory of generative grammar.
