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?

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)

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)

Odd sentence

In Antiquity/India: "Subsequently, a wider body of work influenced Sanskrit scholars such as Ferdinand de Saussure, Leonard Bloomfield, and Roman Jakobson and Frits Staal[2] discuss the possible European impact of Indian ideas on language." Is there a linguistics historian here who knows what that should say? --Milkbreath (talk) 04:16, 24 December 2008 (UTC)

, who discuss the possible impact Indian pre-modern linguistic ideas had on the development of European linguistics?

It's an odd sentence in still yet another awful article on linguistics at wiki. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 133.7.7.20 (talk) 11:58, 6 January 2010 (UTC)

Circular referencing

History of linguistics states that further information is contained at History of grammar. History of grammar states that further information is contained at History of linguistics. The references should be hierarchical. As History of grammar is a sub-section of Grammar it would seem logical that the more detailed information (the "further informmation") should be here at History of linguistics. The two need to be co-ordinated. LookingGlass (talk) 16:17, 8 April 2013 (UTC)
