Transformational generative linguistics or grammar is in a period of decline, but the answer to the question 'What was transformational grammar?' is still in doubt. The reason for this lies partly in the fact that most attempts at finding defining characteristics for the theory are unsatisfactory. Newmeyer attempts to define the theory in terms of the autonomous syntax position, a position held by the structuralists such as C. C. Fries. Another reason lies in the rather cavalier treatment of data by the generativists. Still another reason lies in the suspect conclusions of the researchers. It is no wonder, then, that the theory is in a period of decline.
