I am much indebted to Howard Lasnik, Richard Larson, Gabriel Segal, Scott Weinstein, Edwin Williams, and the students in my fall, 1985 classes for discussion. Comments from Gennaro Chierchia, Noam Chomsky, Alexander George, James McCawley, Sally McConnell-Ginet, and from anonymous reviewers, have also been very helpful.
