The lexicalist hypothesis is a hypothesis proposed by Noam Chomsky in which he claims that syntactic transformations only can operate on syntactic constituents. [ambiguous][jargon][1] It says that the system of grammar that assembles words is separate and different from the system of grammar that assembles phrases out of words.[2]
There are two versions of the hypothesis: weak and strong. In the weak version the transformations could not operate on the derivational words; in the strong approach, the transformations can operate on neither derivational nor inflectional words. [jargon]
The lexicalist hypothesis is a response to generative semanticians who use transformations in the derivation of complex words.
There are objections to the hypothesis such as distributed morphology.[3]
The lexical integrity hypothesis is a subset of the lexicalist hypothesis.
