Stratificational grammarians used the same line of reasoning to challenge the transformational goal of specifying all and only the grammatical sentences of a given language. Under the continuum assumption, they argued, this goal was not only unfeasible but, in fact, nonsensical since the continuum assumption allows no identifiable set of grammatical sentences.

The problem sets in 1960s syntax textbooks were often deliberately falsified, or “controlled”, to give idealized representations of linguistic phenomena. This still happens today.

canonical examples were instrumental in convincing students and established linguists of transformational grammar’s claim to superiority over immediate constituency grammar. These examples demonstrated one of the most effective arguments for TG: that transformational theory could capture syntactic patterns which could, in principle, not be captured by constituency theory...
