While I understand your enthusiasm (even partly agree with it) I think
a far more effective goal would be to take these grammars and the
many categories they...ummmmm...offer and cleanly and clearly--even
educationally--split the syntactic from the semantic. In other words,
instead of teaching ONLY that the categories are offered up as potentials,
clearly teach HOW the context SELECTS the semantic category.

I think there is something to be said for clearly linking the
categories to semantics and helping the student separate, to a degree,
the syntax from the categories.
