It's Trees All The Way Down

 

The nodes of constituent structure trees are constituent structure trees.  It  is these inner trees that cyclic transformations apply to.  Consequently, a parsing  theory for TG is feasible after all, and extremely abstract underlying structures are no longer required to deal with constituent structure and scope relations for English auxiliaries and adverbs.
