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. 606 $aInnateness hypothesis (Linguistics) 606 $aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy 606 $aCreativity (Linguistics) 615 0$aInnateness hypothesis (Linguistics) 615 0$aLanguage and languages$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aCreativity (Linguistics) 676 $a401 700 $aSampson$b Geoffrey$f1944-$0196224 701 $aPostal$b Paul M$0191604 701 $aSampson$b Geoffrey$0196224 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910818632203321 996 $aThe 'language instinct' debate$94069029 997 $aUNINA
