group where there is some philosophical discussion - not too profound.
The idea of 'profound' is interesting. It is a Latinism. The correlative
Anglo-Saxonism is "deep". Witters (or Ludwig Wittgenstein if you mustn't)
would find Chomsky's distinction between surface and deep grammar (the
deep-surface distinction) not too profound philosophically, but then Chomsky
never
said he was a philosoopher.
O. T. O. H., by depth grammar, Wittgensteinians mean 'logical form'; only
it sounds better.
This philosopher I live prefers the shallow berths of the seas of lingo,
though!
Cheers,
Speranza
