Abstract
The paper defends the following positions: Grammaticality and
acceptability must not be regarded as virtually coextensive. Grammaticality
is discrete; acceptability is gradient. Acceptability can be measured directly;
grammaticality can only be tested indirectly. Acceptability is a refl ex of
performance factors interacting with the mentally represented grammatical
rule system; grammaticality is a theoretical concept. Acceptability is a
theory-independent behavioral property; grammaticality is defi ned by the
cognitively encapsulated grammar, which is the empirical research target
of grammar theory.
