[…] the syntactic component of the grammar generates an infinite set of abstract structures - call them "S-structures" - that are assigned a representation in phonetic form (PF) and in LF. - Chomsky (1993), a pag.4 I will have little to say about PF here. Assume it to be some standard form of phonetic representation with labelled bracketing, what I will refer to as "surface structure", adopting one of the several use of this term. - Chomsky (1993), a pag.5
