Citation please

Please find a citation 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. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.14.177.150 (talk) 22:40, 10 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

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)[reply]

  • 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
