The <entity_0> were a protracted <entity_1> inside American generative linguistics which took place mostly in the 1960s and 1970s, stemming from an intellectual falling-out between <entity_4> and some of his early colleagues and doctoral students. The debate began when linguists <entity_5>, <entity_6>, <entity_3>, and <entity_2> — self-dubbed the "four horsemen of the Apocalypse" (in reference to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse)" — proposed an alternative theory of generative semantics, which essentially flipped <entity_4> theory of generative grammar on its head by focusing on semantics rather than syntax as the basis of <entity_4> concept of deep structure. It touches on the issues of the dispute involving <entity_4> and other significant individuals (<entity_3>, <entity_5>, etc.)
