As far as the intentional ungrammaticality of the law' puS construction, as it is described in kgt is concerned.. Is someone allowed to make use of it regularly, or is it only to be used under special circumstances ?
It's a form of wordplay, which means it's appropriate whenever wordplay is appropriate. You probably shouldn't do it too often, or when there's the opportunity for confusion, or at a very formal occasion, or in a situation where beginners are learning.
Only the stuff in KGT, which involves substituting different words for the *law'* and *puS,* is called wordplay by Okrand; all the stuff from the /HolQeD/ article about /as Q as/, /not more Q than,/ and /differently Q than/ is presented as ordinary grammar. -- SuStel http://trimboli.name
