Produktbeschreibung
Language is a system that is grounded in biology. It is a biological endowment in our species, and must have evolved over a particular timescale, and in particular steps, as with other biological endowments. The methodological decision that Chomsky makes does not allow for this conception of language. Instead, it forces language to be a system quite divorced from other biological systems. The question that therefore needs to be asked is why Chomsky has made the methodological decision that he has - in other words, why would he opt for a methodology that is suitable for the physical science, but not for the biological sciences, when the object of the study is language faculty.
