Subject: Re: acceptability/grammaticality judgments, please



Why does this remind me of the good-old days of the early '60s at UCLA,

heyday of the Air Force Syntax Project, when in the fervor of filling out

the Chomskyan paradigm the grad students would gather around the natural-

gas-fed-yule-log fire and sing the "Tranformationelle" -- "O-oh, see if

you can say..."?!

Would anyone care to comment on the acceptability or grammatically of

the following two sentences, either privately or on ADS-L?



1. Kim and Dale think that each other is the best.



2. Who does she think said ate the cake?



Just an answer with '*', '?', or 'OK' would be fine, but commnetary is

also welcome.



Thanks in advance. Bob
