for "This hypothesis supports linguistic nativism and was first proposed by Noam Chomsky." As far as I can tell the expression 'innateness hypothesis' was introduced by Hilary Putnam... in 1967.

Brief Review
My students revised this page for a course (HG2052: Language, Technology and the Internet) and I am adding a couple of comments as part of the final review. Francis Bond (talk) 08:55, 15 November 2014 (UTC)
- overall the page is greatly improved, with well-cited additions
- the prose is a bit choppy and repetitive
- many small mis-wordings/spacings
- it would be good to merge identical references
- the page has captured the fact that there is still much disagreement about this
- so it is neutral
- it is also broad, stable and verifiable
- I think it fails a little to be well-written and illustrated
