Notice now that the picture developed above gives a more precise form to the theorem claiming that inflection is outside of derivation, which can now be stated as in (21). (21) INFLECTION FOLLOWS DERIVATION: Material introduced by inflectional rule (not lexically) on the basis of properties assigned in the syntax to the morphosyntactic representation of the word presupposes, but is not presupposed by, material that is present in the lexical form.
