Goals. Arguing that syntactic parameters: 1) are really at work in cross-generational language transmission; 2) are ‘more’ real than sets of ‘syntactic patterns’, as used by surface-oriented and non-formal approaches to linguistic variation (e.g. Dixon’s 1997 Basic Linguistic Theory)
It is a general fact about natural languages that they exhibit what we will call ‘structured variati...
