Noam Chomsky
Argues that a language's sentences are generated by an explicit formal system of phrase-structure and transformational rules rather than acquired as a list of habits, founding generative grammar as a research programme.
Stefan Müller
Works through the major generative frameworks including GPSG, HPSG and Construction Grammar side by side on the same data, arguing that phrase-structure-and-feature approaches without movement capture the phenomena transformational grammar used movement to explain.
