  • A Naturalist Reconstruction of Minimalist and Evolutionary Biolinguistics
    A Naturalist Reconstruction of Minimalist and Evolutionary Biolinguistics Hiroki Narita & Koji Fujita Kinsella & Marcus (2009; K&M) argue that considerations of biological evo- lution invalidate the picture of optimal language design put forward under the rubric of the minimalist program (Chomsky 1993 et seq.), but in this article it will be pointed out that K&M’s objection is undermined by (i) their misunderstanding of minimalism as imposing an aprioristic presumption of optimality and (ii) their failure to discuss the third factor of language design. It is proposed that the essence of K&M’s suggestion be reconstructed as the sound warning that one should refrain from any preconceptions about the object of inquiry, to which K&M commit themselves based on their biased view of evolution. A different reflection will be cast on the current minima- list literature, arguably along the lines K&M envisaged but never completed, converging on a recommendation of methodological (and, in a somewhat unconventional sense, metaphysical) naturalism. Keywords: evolutionary/biological adequacy; language evolution; metho- dological/metaphysical naturalism; minimalist program; third factor of language design 1. Introduction A normal human infant can learn any natural language(s) he or she is exposed to, whereas none of their pets (kittens, dogs, etc.) can, even given exactly the same data from the surrounding speech community. There must be something special, then, to the genetic endowment of human beings that is responsible for the emer- gence of this remarkable linguistic capacity. Human language is thus a biological object that somehow managed to come into existence in the evolution of the hu- man species.

  • The Role of Affect in Language Development∗
    The Role of Affect in Language Development∗ Stuart G. SHANKER and Stanley I. GREENSPAN BIBLID [0495-4548 (2005) 20: 54; pp. 329-343] ABSTRACT: This paper presents the Functional/Emotional approach to language development, which explains the process leading up to the core capacities necessary for language (e.g., pattern-recognition, joint attention); shows how this process leads to the formation of internal symbols; and how it shapes and is shaped by the child’s development of language. The heart of this approach is that, through a series of affective transfor- mations, a child develops these core capacities and the capacity to form meaningful symbols. Far from be- ing a sudden jump, the transition from pre-symbolic communication to language is enabled by the advances taking place in the child’s affective gesturing. Key words: Functional/Emotional hypothesis; affective transformations; usage-based linguistics; pattern-recognition; joint attention; learning-based interactions; nativism; autism 1. The F/E View of Language Development Chomsky began Cartesian Linguistics with the following quotation from Whitehead’s Science and the Modern World: A brief, and sufficiently accurate, description of the intellectual life of the European races during the succeeding two centuries and a quarter up to our own times is that they have been living upon the accumulated capital of ideas provided for them by the genius of the seventeenth cen- tury (Chomsky 1967). Chomsky was certainly right: both in regards to the accuracy of Whitehead’s ob- servation, and in regards to the significance of this outlook for Chomsky’s whole ap- proach to language acquisition.

The perceived threat to the industry posed by peer-to-peer (“P2P”) file sharing has inspired numerous proposals for legislative action, many involving major adjustments to or even abandonment of the copyright regime. Contemporary file sharing arose in the context of a system designed to produce and distribute musical recordings. This article approaches the issue of file sharing regulation1 by applying complexity theory and related principles of systems analysis to that system. Systems both occur naturally and result from human design.2 Complexity theory provides a conceptual model for a particular category of systems—complex adaptive systems3—and their evolution ∗ Associate Professor, Oklahoma City University School of Law.

  • New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind Noam Chomsky Frontmatter More Information
    Cambridge University Press 0521651476 - New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind Noam Chomsky Frontmatter More information New Horizons in the Study of Language and Mind This book is an outstanding contribution to the philosophical study of language and mind, by one of the most influential thinkers of our time. In a series of penetrating essays, Noam Chomsky cuts through the confusion and prejudice which has infected the study of language and mind, bringing new solutions to traditional philosophical puzzles and fresh perspectives on issues of general interest, ranging from the mind–body problem to the unification of science. Using a range of imaginative and deceptively simple linguistic ana- lyses, Chomsky argues that there is no coherent notion of “language” external to the human mind, and that the study of language should take as its focus the mental construct which constitutes our knowledge of language. Human language is therefore a psychological, ultimately a “biological object,” and should be analysed using the methodology of the natural sciences. His examples and analyses come together in this book to give a unique and compelling perspective on language and the mind. is Institute Professor at the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy, Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Chomsky has written and lectured extensively on a wide range of topics, including linguistics, philosophy, and intellectual history. His main works on linguistics include: Syntactic Structures; Current Issues in Linguistic Theory; Aspects of the Theory of Syntax; Cartesian Linguistics; Sound Pattern of English (with Morris Halle); Language and Mind; Reflections on Language; The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory; Lec- tures on Government and Binding; Modular Approaches to the Study of the Mind; Knowledge of Language: its Nature, Origins and Use; Language and Problems of Knowledge; Generative Grammar: its Basis, Development and Prospects; Language in a Psychological Setting; Language and Prob- lems of Knowledge; and The Minimalist Program.

  • CHOMSKY, Noam Avram (1928- ) Forthcoming in the Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers, 1860-1960 Ed., Ernest Lepore, Thoemmes Press, 2004
    CHOMSKY, Noam Avram (1928- ) Forthcoming in the Dictionary of Modern American Philosophers, 1860-1960 ed., Ernest LePore, Thoemmes Press, 2004. Noam Chomsky was born to Dr. William (Zev) Chomsky and Elsie Simonofsky in Philadelphia on December 7, 1928. His father emigrated to the United States from Russia. William was an eminent scholar, author of the study Hebrew, the Eternal Language (1957), as well as numerous other works on the history and teaching of Hebrew. Noam entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1945. There he came in contact with Zelig Harris, a prominent linguist and the founder of the first linguistics department in the United States (at the University of Pennsylvania). In 1947 Chomsky decided to major in linguistics, and in 1949 he began his graduate studies in that field. His BA honor’s thesis Morphophonemics of Modern Hebrew (1949, revised as an MA thesis in 1951) contains several ideas that foreshadow Chomsky’s later work in generative grammar. In 1949 he married the linguist Carol Schatz. During the years 1951 to 1955 Chomsky was a Junior Fellow of the Harvard University Society of Fellows, where he completed his PhD dissertation entitled Transformational Analysis (1955; published as part of The Logical Structure of Linguistic Theory in 1975). Chomsky received a faculty position at MIT in 1955 and he has been teaching there ever since. In 1961 he was appointed full professor in the Department of Modern Languages and Linguistics; the graduate program in linguistics began the same year. In 1966 he was appointed Ferrari Ward Professor of Linguistics. In 1976, the linguistics and philosophy programs at MIT were merged and the Department of Linguistics and Philosophy was created; this has been Chomsky’s home department ever since.

  • Descartes' Influence on Chomsky's Theory and His Analysis of Language
    Opción, Año 35, Especial No.19 (2019): 2621-2631 ISSN 1012-1587/ISSNe: 2477-9385 Descartes' influence on Chomsky's theory and his analysis of language Phd .huda salaah Rashid Republic of Iraq / University of Tikrit Abstrac The world thinker, Noam Chomsky, is one of the most prominent thinkers in the field of language, politics and culture in general, for his knowledge of these fields. His ideas have revolutionized, especially in the field of langua- ge and the modern outlook on linguistic sciences. These ideas formed an important turning point in this cognitive field which has been demonstrated by the inability of the experimental behavioral model to explain the language. Chomsky's revolution on behaviorists is an independent stage in the history of linguistics. It is a critical view that can only be understood if we address the rational origins from which Chomsky drew his ideas and draw the limits of his theory. Chomsky's innovation was an extension of the Cartesian rational heritage, which was the most important pillar of his theory of obstetrics. Descartes' philosophy was therefore clearly influenced by Chomsky's thought. To this end, our research dealt with the study of the influence of Descartes on Chomsky's theory and its analysis of language, according to an epistemo- logy in which the mind is fully present in which we tried to answer the following question: How did Descartes put forward Chomsky's analysis and analysis of the work of language and reason? As well as the analysis of language instinct under that comprehensive view. 2622 huda salaah Rashid Opción, Año 35, Especial No.19 (2019): 2621-2631 La influencia de Descartes en la teoría de Chomsky y su aná- lisis del lenguaje.
