Uninterpretable features

This paper consists of four sections. Section 1 identifies an important unclarity regarding the central concept “crash” and suggests a way to rectify it. Section 2 reveals a pervasive empirical problem confronting Chomsky’s (2007, 2008) attractively deductive valuation-transfer analysis. Section 3 offers a possible solution to this problem, reanalyzing the relation between uninterpretable features and Transfer. Section 4 presents a possible modification of a crash-proof aspect of the proposed model and briefly discusses a remaining question.
