I took a developmental psych course, and I learned a fair amount about Chomsky's theories and other linguistic theories. And yes, there HAS been a lot of research done on lingustics, and the research that I have seen was far from "bullshit." Criticize Chomsky's political writings all you like, but don't attack an entire field of research just because Chomsky is lauded in it. If you can show me a website attacking not just Chomsky's theories, but the field of linguistics itself, I would be very interested in seeing it.

You would like me to elaborate on how Singer is a wicked creature?

Wha...where was Singer mentioned in this thread? Did I miss it? I mean, I agree with you that Singer is a twat, but I thought we were talking about Chomsky.
