A basic idea of the transformational tradition is that constituents move. More recently, there has been a trend towards the
view that all features are lexical features. And in recent “minimalist” grammars, structure building operations are assumed
to be feature driven. A simple grammar formalism with these properties is presented here and briefly explored. Grammars in
this formalism can define languages that are not in the “mildly context sensitive” class defined by Vijay-Shanker and Weir
(1994).
