Your reading for Monday, 9/27 consist of several excerpts from the following book (as usual, the reading can be downloaded from the Readings section of this website):
Chomsky, Noam. 1988. Language and Politics. (Carlos P. Otero, ed.) Montreal: Black Rose Books.
In fact, the title of the book is rather misleading: Â it is a collection of interviews that Chomsky has given over the years, covering a wide range of topics (both linguistic and political). Â All of the excerpts that you will read have to do with his views concerning children’s capacities for learning language, and why some aspects of this capacity must be innate.
