Marc:
It's almost 30 years ago that I read Piaget's ideas. Yes, I'm perhaps
nearer to Piaget than to Chomsky, but I don't think the Piaget/Chomsky
discussion influenced my opinion. My ideas here are based on
neuroanatomy ("speech" centers etc.), ethology (learning processes, song
in birds & primates, etc.), speech acquisition in children (vocalising,
babbling etc.) and of course our ideas on human evolution (coastal
adaptations including breath hold diving).

Gerry here: Just repeating what I said in the earlier post: do you
think it's time that we combine the ideas of Piaget and Chomsky? And
it's OK if you don't.
