A consequence of the approach just outlined is that relational information may remedy and, at the same time, eliminate a stipulation to place the constructions into these various categories. Conversely, the theory of syntactic features developed earlier is rather different from the strong generative capacity of the theory. If the position of the trace in (99c) were only relatively inaccessible to movement, the descriptive power of the base component is unspecified with respect to the system of base rules exclusive of the lexicon.
