Three types of linearization and the temporal aspects of speech

1.0 The road to PF Linearization is a commonly used term in many domains of linguistic theory. The purpose of this paper is to clarify what linearization is by demonstrating that it is not a monolithic nor unified operation. Instead, linearization occurs as a by-product of the necessary conversion of representations from one grammatical module to another. The transfer of a representation from one module to another requires a conversion in content since different modules traffic in different representations and concomitant computations. As a starting point, we assume the grammatical organization in (1).
