"This study is an explorations into [Paul] Postal's conception of grammar. It is an attempt to define the notion "possible irregularity" in a natural language. The contributions that the present work makes to this conception of grammar are the notions of (1) rule government, (2) minor rules, (3) absolute exceptions characterized by structural description features, (4) Boolean exceptions, and (5) the lexical base." --Introduction pages xii-xiii.
