The Lithuanian Definite Adjective as Syntax and as Semiotic.

Levin, Jules F.

Journal of Baltic Studies, v10 n2 p152-61 Sum 1979

Discusses the generative phonology model for the Lithuanian definite adjective, showing its inadequacy as a model of speaker competence. Suggests that if P Rules must be proposed to derive surface alternations of autonomous phonemes, then syntax is at least "being" replaced by morphology.
