[edit] Chomsky and linguistic

what kind of history of linguistics fails to mention Chomsky

-- well, we'll just have to fix it. Other notable omissions include the entire history of linguistic thought outside the Western tradition since the 19th century. Oops! -- mk270

== and Chomsky is just one of linguitical animal?

[edit] Unsupported claim

The section on Historical linguistics stated:

However, the existence of any such single ancestral language on timescales indicated by a literal reading of the Bible is not consistent with modern linguistics.

Since no reference, scholarly or otherwise, was given, I've deleted it. Claims of this sort, while plausible, are hard to demonstrate, so I consider it dubious. --- Charles Stewart 18:22, 14 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] History of communication

I have expanded this article, but I am not a linguistic expert, so I am not sure how to connect it to linguistic - perhaps some of you may want to look at it and consider this.-- _{Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus | talk}  18:57, 1 September 2006 (UTC)
