1. The Central Algonquian Languages form a group which, together with Eastern Algonquian, constitutes the Eastern-Central branch of the Algonquian stock. While the similarity between the Central Algonquian languages is evident, the exact grouping is doubtful.
It is time now to sum up the results of this investigation, which has been carried through seven inscriptions (one of them in three copies), in five languages, and has listed the presence of about 450 errors. Such a summary is the more necessary, because the study has inevitably advanced item by item, without any generalizations except those implied by the tabulations at the end of each chapter.
On page 72 of his Syntactic structures, Noam Chomsky writes:
One of the nominalizing transformations will be the transformation TAdj which operates on any string of the form
(71) T – N–is – Adj (i.e., article – noun – is – adjective)
and converts it into the corresponding noun phrase of the form T + Adj + N. Thus, it converts “the boy is tall” into “the tall boy,” etc. It is not difficult to show that this transformation simplifies the grammar considerably, and that it must go in this, not the opposite direction. When we formulate this transformation properly, we find that it enables us to drop all adjective-noun combinations from the kernel, reintroducing them by TAdj.
