i've been reading george lakoff's stuff of late: a particularly trenchant critic of transformational grammar---which is an interesting metaphysics, but a metaphysics nonetheless--in the bad sense. if you want to see someone wholly committed to that who tries and tries to defend it against any and all, see jackendoff's irritating work. but this by the bye.
