Steven Pinker and Paul Bloom wrote a long article in 1990 ( Natural language and natural selection ) which confront opposing theories on the evolution of language, the theory is undoubtedly correct, as indeed the authors , that is compatible with the current version of the modern synthesis of Darwinism. Reading the article, therefore, produces a strange effect: you feel that you would imagine reading an article contemporary show their need to refute today geocentrism. Pinker and Bloom are forced (by the likes of Noam Chomsky and Massimo Piattelli Palmarini) to talk about anything. But why ??!!!

My Cats Stomach Is Caved In After Surgery
Linguistics and shit
The amount of shit that the language can say the educated, highly cultured even when they are not linguists, it's really huge. Sometimes I find this annoying, sometimes it makes me laugh, always makes me feel very smart (wrongly, of course: anyone who would deign to read a handbook of language, including elementary, of course wanting to understand, this feeling).

against bigotry and intellectuals
The antideterminismo antimaterialist is the meeting ground between the right fideist (bigots) and the post-modern left (band of scoundrels), with the physical boundary philosophically very Inadvertent; better stay alone.
