A higher-order rule expressing a generalization over a set of lowerorder rules is called as

  • A.Metarule
  • B.Metonymy
  • C.Metaplasm
  • D.Metathesis

Answer: A

A higher-order rule that expresses a generalisation over a set of lower-order rules is called a metarule. In generalised phrase structure grammar (Gazdar), metarules derive one set of rules, such as passives, from another set.

Metonymy is a figure of speech in which a thing is named by something closely associated with it, metaplasm is a change of a word's form in rhetoric or grammar, and metathesis is the transposition of sounds. None of these is a rule about rules, so option A is right.
