Dear Professor,

I would like to know if the articles and zero articles are used correctly or not in these questions:

 

 What is the difference between deep and surface structure?

What is the difference between grammaticle and lexical meaning?

 

Would you please tell me if I have to a definitie atricle to "deep, surface, grammatical and lexical", if I have to add a plural "s" to "structure and meaning" or I can leave them without change?

 

Thanks in advance for your answer

Your sentences are fine as written (but note the spelling of grammatical).

You can use structures and meanings, but it is not absolutely necessary.  In fact, the plurals strike me as hypercorrections.
