ABSTRACT: This paper examines the structure of grammatical knowledge through
analyzing the acceptability of English parasitic gap constructions.
Judgments on 100 parasitic gap constructions are collected with
questionnaires from fifteen native speakers of English. The judgments
are analyzed by multiple regression analysis. On the basis of the
analysis, this paper claims that plural syntactic constraints
simultaneously bear with different weights on the acceptability of
parasitic gap constructions. A linear equation that predicts the
acceptability of a given parasitic gap construction is proposed. As a
general implication, this paper suggests that syntactic constraints as
part of the language faculty are additive and with different importance.
