note = "Funding Information: In the first issue of this journal, Fred W. Householder discussed two papers of ours1 which he found defective in various respects. We feel that the issues involved are important and deserve the fullest clarification. We will therefore discuss Householder's objections and the underlying issues in some detail, reiterating points that have been made in the aforementioned papers and elsewhere and making no attempt to avoid redundancy if this can contribute to clarity. In the two papers under discussion, we were concerned with the phonological component of a generative grammar. A generative grammar contains a This work was supported in part by the Joint Services Electronics Program under Contract DA36-039-AMC-03200(E); in part by the National Science Foundation (Grant GP-249S), the National Institutes of Health (Grant MH-04737-05), the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (Grant NsG-496), and the U.S. Air Force (ESD Contract AF19(628-2487). [1] Delays in publication as well as other factors have led to what may be a rather con-fusing situation, with regard to the paper by Chomsky to which Householder refers. It appeared at approximately the same time in three different versions under two different titles. The Preprints paper (Chomsky, 1962) appears in the Proceedings of the Ninth Congress in a revised version submitted for publication in 1962; its title is that of the session at which it was presented (Chomsky, 1964a). A revised and expanded version was submitted for publication in 1963 and has now been published (Chomsky, 19646) in Fodor and Katz (1964). A still later and further revised and expanded version was submitted for publication in late 1963 and has now appeared as a separate monograph (Chomsky, 1964c). We will give page references in a double form, referring to the Proceedings and the separate monograph. The latter page reference is only for the convenience of the reader; the various versions do not differ in any way relevant to this discussion.",
