The theory of core grammar is associated with

  • A.Frank Palmer
  • B.Noam Chomsky
  • C.Goan Bresnan
  • D.John Ross

Answer: B

The theory of core grammar is associated with Noam Chomsky, who in the Principles and Parameters framework of the 1980s (Lectures on Government and Binding) divided a language's grammar into a core, determined by universal principles and parameter settings, and a periphery of marked exceptions.

Frank Palmer wrote on semantics and grammar generally, Joan Bresnan is associated with Lexical-Functional Grammar and John Ross with island constraints and early generative syntax. None of them put forward the core and periphery distinction.
