Chomsky Wrecks His Train Set - by John Williamson

A heavy read, found on FrontPageMag.com can be found here

“We are now moving to domains of will and choice and judgment…”

Will…and…judgment…and choice. Oh my!

Language as a matter of will? Language as a matter of choice? Language as a matter of judgment? This cannot be. For everything that Chomsky has ever advocated or argued for has been to support the notion of language as an organic function of the brain. As recently as 2004, he has famously compared the language function to “insect navigation.”



Again, the topic of linguistics is some heavy stuff. I am on my third read of the article and just starting to comprehend some of the material.
