I'm not sure how Chomskyesque your question is, Marika, but surface realization is the actual set of words that is used to create the sentence, while the underlying representation is the meanings of those words in the sentence. This latter also may be referring to Chomsky's deep structure , which is a sort of 'primal grammar' that he has posited.
