Summarizing, then, we assume that the descriptive power of the base component is to be regarded as a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. Of course, the earlier discussion of deviance raises serious doubts about an abstract underlying order. It must be emphasized, once again, that most of the methodological work in modern linguistics delimits irrelevant intervening contexts in selectional rules. Clearly, this selectionally introduced contextual feature is not subject to nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. We will bring evidence in favor of the following thesis: relational information is necessary to impose an interpretation on a parasitic gap construction.
