We distinguish the lexicon from the
computational system of the language, the syntax
in a broad sense (including phonology). Assume
that the syntax provides three fundamental levels
of representation, each constituting an
interface of the grammatical system with some
other system of the mind/brain D-Structure,
Phonetic Form (PF), and Logical Form (LF).
Chomsky 1995130
15
Any theory of language must include some sort of
lexicon, the repository of all (idiosyncratic)
properties of particular lexical items...The
lexicon is a set of lexical elements, each an
articulated system of features. It must specify,
for each such element, the phonetic, semantic,
and syntactic properties that are idiosyncratic
to it, but nothing more. Chomsky 199530. 130

CP Spec C C IP Spec I I VP
Items of the lexicon are of two general types
with or without substantive content. We restrict
the term lexical to the former category the
latter are functional. Each item is a feature
set. Lexical elements head NP, VP, AP, and PP.
Chomsky 199554

the lexicon here. Chomsky 1995235
The lexical entry provides...the information
required for further computations. Chomsky

REFORM or REVOLUTION?
Whenever a change leaves the internal mechanism
untouched, we have reform whenever the internal
mechanism is changed, we have revolution.

Ray Jackendoff on the Lexicon-Grammar
Interface Semantic Structures (1990)
To develop a more general theory of language
(concerned with syntax and semantics and their
points of connection), one must confront two
basic problems, which might be called the Problem
of Meaning and the Problem of Correspondence. Th
e Problem of Meaning is to characterize the
phenomena that a theory of meaning is to account
for, and to develop a formal treatment of
semantic intuitions. The Problem of
Correspondence is to characterize the
relationship between the formal treatment of
meaning and the formal structure of syntax.
