Arrange the following in order in which they appeared :

(i) Standard theory
(ii) Syntactic structure model
(iii) DP Hypothesis
(iv) X-bar theory
Codes :

  • A.(i), (ii), (iii), (iv)
  • B.(ii), (i), (iv), (iii)
  • C.(iv), (ii), (iii), (i)
  • D.(iii), (i), (iv), (ii)

Answer: B

The order of appearance is the syntactic structure model (1957), the standard theory (Aspects, 1965), X-bar theory (Chomsky 1970, Jackendoff 1977) and the DP hypothesis (Abney, 1987). The code is (ii), (i), (iv), (iii).

Options A, C and D put later developments before earlier ones, for instance beginning with standard theory before the 1957 model, or with the DP hypothesis before X-bar theory. Only option B follows the actual chronology.
