    Mark,

    msh:
    Yes, but thanks to Chomsky, we now understand that language is rooted
    in biology.

    Scott:
    No we don't. In the first place, Chomsky's deep structure is a debated issue
    (at least it was when I was studying linguistics in the 80's). In the second
    place, if there is a deep structure or Universal Grammar, to say that it is
    biological is merely to find the only place for it (brain hard-wiring) that
    a materialist could accept. Drop the materialist assumption and it could be
    elsewhere, e.g., in a Sheldrakian morphic form.
