twelve years since I studied more or less seriously Chomsky and I only remember vaguely something about language adquisition, principles, parametres and an universal grammar... :roll: my Watson plus Skinner readings are even beyond that!!!!!!!! :lol: Enjoy it!!!!!!!! :)

Just a flash back
Must be almost forty years since I read Skinner.

I don't think I will read it again.

I know nothing about Chomksky.

There used to be a political party in the USA about a hundred years ago. "The Know Nothing Party" they did pretty good for a while. This was shortly after the great religious conversion in the late 19th century called "The Great Awakening"

So much for that.

Yeah I need to learn more about Chomsky I guess.



I am in the dark here

I mean what is t here beyond freedom and dignity?

Do you remember Chomsky saying anything about that?

thanks for the reply
I bought this computer at a clearance sale at the B F Skinner laboratory at Harvard University.

Every time someone replies to one of my posts my commuter rewards me with a banana flavored pellet.
