Checking Theory is a linguistic principle that occurs in ............. .
Answer: B
Checking theory belongs to Generative Linguistics.
Checking theory is part of Noam Chomsky's Minimalist Program (1995): grammatical features such as case and agreement on words must be 'checked' against matching features in the syntax, and unchecked features cause a derivation to fail.
Structural linguistics (Bloomfield and his successors) describes surface patterns, traditional grammar uses prescriptive rules, and systemic linguistics (Halliday) analyses language as choices of meaning. None uses feature checking.
