چکیده
a. The Hierarchy of Grammatical Relations: 1 (Subject) >> 2 (Direct Object) >> 3 (Indirect Object) >> Nonterms (Oblique, Chômeur) b. Any stratum (= level of grammatical representation) contains at most one instance of each GR (Stratal Uniqueness Law). c. Nominals can travel up the hierarchy (advancement) or down (demotion). d. If X bears a specific GR and Y is advanced to this GR, X is put en chômage (becomes a Chômeur). e. Well-formedness conditions can be defined over a single stratum or the entire set of strata associated with a sentence (its “derivation”).
