I changed "...parts of his linguistic research have been substantially funded by the American military." to "...early research at the institution were he did his linguistic research had been substantially funded by the American military." That is what the source cited in footnote 103 actually says. As it is, the grants from the military to institutions like M.I.T. were institutional, not individual. Only with institutions that were not under contract with the military did the individual project director have to sign the project agreement based on a project proposal submitted to the military by the same person. This might seem tedious but that's how things worked before funding shifted to the NIH in the 70s, not because of our protests to our respective university administrations, but because the Pentagon simply had lost interest. 24.226.189.196 (talk) 17:56, 18 March 2011 (UTC)
