==Background==
With his book ''[[Syntactic Structures]]'' (1957), Chomsky established the concept of [[transformational generative grammar]] (TGG). In ''[[Aspects of the Theory of Syntax]]'' (1965), the TGG model went through a revision, which included the inclusion of a lexical component, the separation of deep from surface structures, and the introduction of some technical innovations such as syntactic features and recursive phrase structure rules. This ''Aspects'' model came to be known as the "Standard Theory". During the early 1970s, some of the rules in the Standard Theory got refined and led to the Extended Standard Theory. ''Lectures on Government and Binding'' is the next step in Chomskyan linguistic thought where [[Universal Grammar]] and its characteristics assume central importance.
