Abstract

In one way or another, the quest for a formal model of linguistic competence in the enterprise of the generative theory has always run into the “interventions of the time factor”. We aim, in this work, to correlate the attempt to abandon the notion of [chronological] time, in the realm of linguistics as a natural science, with the notion of hierarchy within the physiological apparatus of the grammar architecture of particular languages.
