It doesn't seem to me that Ready-Madeism is induced, or at least not on the=
 basis of anything more than the most cursory consideration of experience a=
nd language; and instead it seems to be selected for its formalizability. I=
 don't know if that's an egregious misrepresentation of history.

If all contemporary linguists count as Western-trained.

Is a predicate a body of sockets, into which arguments plug? If so, then I'=
d argue that there's virtually nothing to say about plugs -- you need know =
nothing about them but their identity, so that you can tell whether two soc=
kets do or don't share the same plug. And the argument is about something e=
lse.
