1@jlawler the OP is asking about en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coordination_(linguistics) and Chomsky's work in generalizing it is touched on here pdfs.semanticscholar.org/6211/… I believe OP is asking if (Chomsky 1957) is the first example of someone making this generalization. – Not_Here Apr 18 '17 at 11:35
