The arguments against it seem to me very power. I'll attach a recent paper about it, a contribution to a volume of essays dedicated to Jerry Fodor and focusing on his conception of language as processing (input modules). His version is far more sophisticated than the signal processing approaches that were all the rage in the 1950s, drawing from the successes of wartime technology in signal analysis and Shannon's information theory.

That's what work on UG should be about. Noam From: jeffrey E. [mailto:jeevacation@gmail cam Sent: Friday, July 31, 2015 12:59 PM To: Noam Chomsky Subject: I hope you have fun at the institute.
