Are both The Primitives and Phantogram American ?
Phantogram (band) Phantogram (formerly Charlie Everywhere) is an American music duo from Greenwich, New York, formed in 2007 and consisting of Josh Carter (vocals, guitars) and Sarah Barthel (vocals, keyboards). The band name was inspired by an optical illusion called a phantogram, in which two-dimensional images appear to be three-dimensional.
Principles and parameters Principles and parameters is a framework within generative linguistics in which the syntax of a natural language is described in accordance with general "principles" (i.e. abstract rules or grammars) and specific "parameters" (i.e. markers, switches) that for particular languages are either turned "on" or "off". For example, the position of heads in phrases is determined by a parameter. Whether a language is "head-initial or head-final" is regarded as a parameter which is either on or off for particular languages (i.e. English is "head-initial", whereas Japanese is "head-final"). Principles and parameters was largely formulated by the linguists Noam Chomsky and Howard Lasnik. Many linguists have worked within this framework, and for a period of time it was considered the dominant form of mainstream generative linguistics.
