Please keep the comments comin'! =)

I have tried to give Chompsky credit where it is due and point out where I think his theory is limited. So far no one else has spoken to this.

Shouldn't linguistics be dealing with human language rather than computer languages? Shouldn't it address the problem of translation and the problem of meaning?

I agree. Linguistics, by definition, is supposed to deal with human language; not computer language.

I have some bad news. I went back to Front Page Magazine and it looks like the debate there on this article is over, for the most part. The last I checked, there were 38 responses.

I hope the discussion has just gotten started over here. ;)
