Reading for F 10/1: Chomsky 1988 excerpt #2, Cook 1988 excerpts

There are two readings for Friday, 10/1.  The first is another excerpt from the following book, which is where your previous reading also came from:

Chomsky, Noam. 1988. Language and Politics. (Carlos P. Otero, ed.) Montreal: Black Rose Books.

The excerpt that you’ll read for Friday deals with innate knowledge of language, and the concept of ‘Universal Grammar’.

Your other reading for Friday also deals with these topics, and consists of an excerpt from the first chapter of the following book:

Cook, Vivian J. 1988.  Chomsky’s Universal Grammar: An Introduction. Oxford: Blackwell.

As usual, both readings can be downloaded from the Readings section of this website.
