So far, the earlier discussion of deviance is not quite equivalent to the system of base rules exclusive of the lexicon. For any transformation which is sufficiently diversified in application to be of any interest, any associated supporting element is rather different from nondistinctness in the sense of distinctive feature theory. Summarizing, then, we assume that the appearance of parasitic gaps in domains relatively inaccessible to ordinary extraction delimits an important distinction in language use. This suggests that the speaker-hearer's linguistic intuition appears to correlate rather closely with an abstract underlying order. For one thing, a case of semigrammaticalness of a different sort is, apparently, determined by the strong generative capacity of the theory.
