Structure Preservation Principle
{{no footnotes, date=November 2011 The Structure Preservation Principle is a generalization going back to Joseph Emonds' 1970 MIT dissertation and widely adopted afterwards. It claims, in a nutshell, that the result of syntactic transformation must be structurally identical to a structure that can be generated without transformations. For example, the by then popular passive transformation derives :''Prince Jamal was strangled by Fabio.'' from the active :''Fabio strangled Prince Jamal.'' But the syntactic structure of the passive sentence, Subj Aux V-Particple Prep NP is by and large the same as that found in an active sentence like :''Prince Jamal has dined at Fabio's.''
