Annotation
Two hypotheses are presented: (i) an active violation of a discourse principle produces an unacceptable sentence, while a nonintentional violation does not affect the acceptability of the sentence; (ii) a violation of a syntactic rule that has a redeeming value from the point of view of discourse principles does not necessarily lead to ungrammaticality.
