Abstract
This rejoinder demonstrates that López-Serena’s [López-Serena, A., 2009. Intuition, acceptability and grammaticality: a reply to Riemer. Language Sciences 31, 634–648] critique of Riemer [Riemer, N., 2009. Grammaticality as evidence and as prediction in a Galilean linguistics. Language Sciences 31, 612–633] is unfounded. LS’s critique is characterized by errors of fact and interpretation, a failure to distinguish positions which are being conceded from those being argued, and an arbitrary redefinition of the terms of the debate. Furthermore, LS’s conceptions of intuition and scientificity, which motivate her criticisms, prove to be highly problematic.
