One interpretation of lexis as most delicate grammar is that they are somehow the end point of a bundle of system choices, which leads to a single lexical option.
All essays were analyzed for complexity, grammatical accuracy, fluency, lexical choice, lexical accuracy and propositional content.
Fodor and Lepore (1992) argued that this left semantics with two options: lexical meanings were either atomic (i.e., they could not be specified by descriptions involving other meanings) or they were holistic, i.e., only the set of all true sentences of the language could count as fixing them.
Options for lexical relations and appraisal are described in Martin and Rose [2007], Martin and White [2005].
For this, we tested whether verbs that can select CP complements, namely, whose lexical entry includes a CP option, are more complex than verbs that do not select CP complements, even when both verb types appeared in sentences without embedding.
In §3, we discuss controlled forms of structural reasoning, anchored in lexical type assignment, as an alternative to the problematic all-or-nothing options.
But with certain notions, a lexical borrowing is the more likely option.
