Chomsky already left GB for his minimalist approach.
I left EST generative/transformational for Dik's Functional Grammar
twenty years ago and remain happy with its general approach to
human language and syntax. It includes a 'psychological adequacy' and
'pragmatic adequacy' in addition to the Humskian 'descriptive adequacy'.
(PS: Humsky is how the name is pronounced here in Hebrew.)
