On the other hand, if what is meant by "logical form" is something more
like "trying to analyze whatever you hear as a Sentence, even if it
means positing lots of empty elements, empty phrases, empty operators,"
then I will gladly join with Dr. Gibbs (presumably) in saying that's a
very radical claim and would require a lot of empirical support that so
far has not been presented here.
It seems a reasonably gentle claim to assert that we try to make sense
out of intputs that we receive. But to assert that we try to jam all
inputs into Sentence format is a far more aggressive (and less
plausible) position.
