I addition, there are a number of interesting secondary sources, several on the web, e.g.: KENJI HAKUTA, Book Reviews: LANGUAGE AND LEARNING: THE DEBATE BETWEEN JEAN PIAGET AND NOAM CHOMSKY edited by Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini. http://www.stanford.edu/~hakuta/www/research/publications/%281980%29%20-%20LANGUAGE%20AND%20LEARNING%20THE%20DEBATE%20BETWEEN%20JEAN%20PLAGE.pdf . . . and even better: A classic non-debate http://dissertations.ub.rug.nl/FILES/faculties/ppsw/1999/j.w.de.graaf/c2.pdf . . . which is a chapter of: Graaf, Jan Willem de. Relating new to old: a classic controversy in developmental psychology (dissertation, University of Groningen, 1999). http://dissertations.ub.rug.nl/faculties/ppsw/1999/j.w.de.graaf/ "The central question in this thesis is whether or not developmental psychology is in principle able to describe and explain the emergence of new forms (novelty) on the ontogenetic timescale - the time-scale of individual development." This analysis is fascinating, and at first glance, convincing. This is the sort of critique I've been looking for. At the very least, it shows up the bulk of "marxist" linguistics as well as poststructuralist notions of language as utterly worthless, while at the same time revealing the fault lines of radical nativism.
