Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to make clear the position
of the Rationalist school of language study and its reliance
on machinery provided by the Foundation of Mathematics. Thus
the main thrust of this paper is at the concepts of Deep
Structure and Creative Aspect and their development using,
respectively, the Theory of Relations and the Theory of Recursive
Functions. The basic relation that underlies the rule
formulation for presenting Deep structure is A is a B. The
basic recursive rule that underlies the Creative Aspect is
A is a Sentence. Upon these fundamentals does this presentation
rest.
