Conclusion; Notes; IndexWhen it was first published in 1997, Geoffrey Sampson's Educating Eve was described as the definitive response to Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct and Noam Chomsky's nativism. In this revised and expanded new edition, Sampson revisits his original arguments in the light of fresh evidence that has emerged since the original publication. Since Chomsky revolutionized the study of language in the 1960's, it has increasingly come to be accepted that language and other knowledge structures are hard-wired in our genes. According to this view, human beings are born with a rich structure of cognition.Innateness hypothesis (Linguistics)Language and languagesPhilosophyCreativity (Linguistics)Electronic books.Innateness hypothesis (Linguistics)Language and languagesPhilosophy.Creativity (Linguistics)401Sampson Geoffrey1944-196224Postal Paul M191604Sampson Geoffrey196224MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910461216303321The 'language instinct' debate2464035UNINA
