Sadly, I'm not as up to date as I'd like to be. I'm just relying on the MA dissertation I wrote in 1970 on the theme of 'Transformations in Linguistics and Anthropology'.
The really sad thing is that I can no longer understand three-quarters of what I wrote.
You've fallen victim of the inadequacies of traditional grammar. Switch to Chomskyan-style transformational-generative grammar and there's no problem making sense of what was originally posted.
