Here's another silly thing Noam Chomsky did.
He wrote a book trying to tie his project to Rationalism.
Like, that's stupid in itself, rationalism was a bunch of hooey.
But, he also failed miserably at it.

The fact that NELS 54 hosted at MIT has a special session on "Experimental Methods in Linguistic Theory" tells you exactly how little elite generative grammar institutions actually think about what they're doing.
Did no one notice a contradiction in their five word session title?

Maybe a bit of a long shot, but do any #multilingualism/ #languageacquisition #linguidon|s/ #linguist|s have any multilectalism/dialectal variation research going on, or know of anything in the experimental or theoretical realms? I'm currently out of academia, but I've had an idea in my head for almost a year now and I want to see if anyone else is working on this
