On the empirical content of the theory of lexical insertionFootnote∗

The author was at the University of Massachusetts when this was written.

A very slightly different version of this paper was read before the Brown University Linguistics Club in early April, 1970. The author would like to thank Martha Laferriere and the other members of the club for inviting him to speak to them and for their many comments which he has as yet to fully ponder.
