(38) Lexical Sequences:

[math]\displaystyle{ \langle \omega, \phi \rangle }[/math] is a lexical sequence if and only if [math]\displaystyle{ \omega }[/math] is a phonological form (an atom), [math]\displaystyle{ \phi }[/math] is a feature structure, and either:

1. G contains some lexical entry [math]\displaystyle{ \langle d_1, d_2\rangle }[/math] such that [math]\displaystyle{ \omega }[/math] satisfies [math]\displaystyle{ d_1 }[/math] and [math]\displaystyle{ \phi }[/math] satisfies [math]\displaystyle{ d_2 }[/math], or
2. there is some lexical rule instantiation licensed by G (a feature structure of type l-rule) whose OUTPUT value is [math]\displaystyle{ \langle \omega, \phi \rangle }[/math].

 ::* lexical rule instantiation Our lexical rules [q.v.] are descriptions, specifying the value of some features and leaving others unspecified. A lexical rule instantiation is a fully resolved feature structure that is consistent with the specification of some lexical rule.


  1. Of course, we only use those lexical sequences whose second member is of type word, i.e. those lexical sequences that are the OUTPUT value of an inflectional lexical rule (see Section 8.7) or a post-inflectional lexical rule (see Chapter 11)
