The 'Language Instinct' Debate: Revised Edition
A&C Black, Apr 1, 2005 - Language Arts & Disciplines - 224 pages
When it was first published in 1997, Geoffrey Sampson's Educating Eve was described as the definitive response to Steven Pinker's The Language Instinct and Noam Chomsky's nativism. In this revised and expanded new edition, Sampson revisits his original arguments in the light of fresh evidence that has emerged since the original publication.
Since Chomsky revolutionized the study of language in the 1960s, it has increasingly come to be accepted that language and other knowledge structures are hard-wired in our genes. According to this view, human beings are born with a rich structure of cognition already in place. But people do not realize how thin the evidence for that idea is.
The 'Language Instinct' Debate examines the various arguments for instinctive knowledge, and finds that each one rests on false premisses or embodies logical fallacies. The structures of language are shown to be purely cultural creations.
With a new chapter entitled 'How People Really Speak' which uses corpus data to analyse how language is used in spontaneous English conversation, responses to critics, extensive revisions throughout, and a new preface by Paul Postal of New York University, this new edition will be an essential purchase for students, academics, and general readers interested in the debate about the 'language instinct'.
What people are saying - Write a review
As a scientific adviser to graduate students and as a PhD in linguistics I have to say that I struggle with Sampson's book for several reasons. First I have a problem with his use of hyperbole such as "most people" (p. 7), "very many people" (p. 1), "some people" (p. 11), "no one would read Chomsky..." (p. 13) and "All academic philosophers know" (p. 19). These are just a few examples I found in Chapter One. His book is filled with this type of assumptive speech once called "Dicto Simpliciter." He also seems to struggle with Hasty Generalizations. I fear that Sampson has failed to keep up with the data concerning new research in language and speech production. Technology has given us tools beyond imagination and as a result we have new insights into language production, language development and how humans speak. Dr. Deb Roy from MIT (cognitive scientist) has done extensive research on the emergence of language in infants. Dr. Faraneh Vargha-Khadem from University College London has actually isolated the Fox P2 gene responsible for certain types of speech defects and Prof. Gary Morgan's studies into autism shows that some brains have no language barrier at all and can master all the skills of 20 languages. I just have to say that I cannot recommend a book with these types of over generalizations. In addition, it seems that Sampson is angry or acidic towards nativists in general, Chomsky and Pinker in particular. He almost rants in the first three chapters. The evidence of a language instinct is no longer thin, but rather exploding as technology allows us to look into what makes us speak. All of this to say that language cannot be purely cultural if genetic mutations can deform it.
Review: The 'Language Instinct' DebateUser Review - Guillermo - Goodreads
A well written, thought-provoking critique of linguistic nativism. Sampson demolishes most of the arguments nativists like Chomsky, Jackendoff, Bickerton and Pinker use for backing the thesis that we ... Read full review

Product description
In 2010, French mathematician Cedric Villani received the Fields Medal, the most coveted prize in mathematics, in recognition of a proof which he devised with his close collaborator Clement Mouhot to explain one of the most surprising theories in classical physics. "Birth of a" "Theorem "is Villani's own account of the years leading up to the award. It invites readers inside the mind of a great mathematician as he wrestles with the most important work of his career. But you don't have to understand nonlinear Landau damping to love "Birth of a" "Theorem." It doesn't simplify or overexplain; rather, it invites readers into collaboration. Villani's diaries, emails, and musings enmesh you in the process of discovery. You join him in unproductive lulls and late-night breakthroughs. You're privy to the dining-hall conversations at the world's greatest research institutions. Villani shares his favorite songs, his love of manga, and the imaginative stories he tells his children. In mathematics, as in any creative work, it is the thinker's whole life that propels discovery--and with "Birth of a" "Theorem," Cedric Villani welcomes you into his."

Review | Dates to Watch For | Follow-Up | U.S. Economic Calendar | Consensus Estimates | Coming Earnings | Coming U.S. Auctions
It's been an uphill slog for golf since the financial collapse of 2008, but if recent data are any indication, better times lie ahead for the game.
Despite a decline in the number of golfers and links in the U.S., rounds played in the first quarter of 2012 rose 22% from the same period in 2011, according to the National Golf Foundation, a trade group. The numbers were compiled from 15,753 courses in the U.S. NGF estimates there are 25.7 million Americans who golf.
Fore! Despite a decline in the number of U.S. golfers, rounds played are showing some positive trends so far this year. William Waitzman for Barron's
Although the mild weather has supported the positive trend, NGF notes that even if statistics for the rest of the year remain flat, rounds would still have risen 2.7% from 2011, when rounds played fell 2.5%.
Similarly, the PGA is finding greener trends in the sport this year, with May rounds up 10.1% from the year-earlier month, on a 4.3% increase in days open. The PGA tracks 2,698 golf facilities across the country.
The rise marks the seventh monthly increase in a row in rounds played, although the PGA attributes the increase to unseasonably warm weather. Still, the NGF notes that golfers who say they're playing fewer rounds fell to 16%, the lowest since the 2008 first quarter.

Vacuum Cleaner Bags
Vacuum cleaning systems that offer the best cleaning ability – is that what you are seeking? It's also likely that you believe that cleaning ability is related to power or suction. Actually, it's not. While there's no single factor that determines the cleaning ability of the vacuum cleaner you use, understanding how vacuums work and how you can help maintain your vacuum cleaner to perform its best is important. Changing your vacuum cleaner bag is an important step in maintaining the efficiency of your vacuum cleaner. While most vacuum cleaners come with an indicator to help you determine when your cleaner's dust bag needs to be changed, you can perform a check yourself to see if it is over 50% full as that's when you need to replace it. Don't wait until the dust bag in your vacuum cleaner is completely full as it can reduce the suction and cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system. If you use your vacuum cleaner frequently, it is recommended that you change vacuum cleaner bags once a month, especially if you are cleaning a large area over 2000 square feet or if your pet sheds a lot.
What you need the most when you are considering vacuum cleaner bag replacement is a bag that is well-matched with the model of your vacuum cleaning system. You can find original equipment manufacturer (OEM) or replacement type bags online. While both serve the purpose, that is enhancing the cleaning capacity of your vacuum cleaning system and providing you an easy way to get rid of all the dirt that you vacuum cleaner collects, you can choose one according to your budget and cleaning needs. At GoVacuum, we have got a vast range of vacuum cleaner bags from the biggest and the best brands around. You'll find them here at great prices and shipping offers. We are the vacuum cleaning system experts and can recommend the right bag for your existing system all while staying within your budget.

Opening Celebration Sunday, June 28
All Welcome!
Opening Weekend – June 27–28
Please join us for celebrations to consecrate the founding of this new monastery, with the main event being a blessing ceremony and a Dhamma Talk offered by Luang Por Liem, the abbot of Ajahn Chah's main monastery in Thailand, on Sunday, June 28 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.
And on Saturday, June 27, join us for a meal offering with the senior monks visiting from Thailand at 11 a.m., and a Dhamma Talk offered by Luang Por Jundee at 1 p.m. – followed by a novice ordination ceremony at 2 p.m.
For details and a schedule see News >
What's Happening
In July 2014 Ajahn Jayanto and Ajahn Anando, two monks from Amaravati Buddhist Monastery, as well as Tan Saddhammo, a monk from Wat Pah Nanachat, took up residence on part of a property in Temple, NH which has subsequently been purchased by supporters and offered as a site for a monastery in the tradition of Ajahn Chah and Ajahn Sumedho.
See recent announcements and current news. >
During the summer of 2013, two monks of the Ajahn Chah tradition – Ajahn Jayanto and Ven. Caganando – were invited to stay in Boston in order to explore the possibilities for establishing a branch monastery of their community in New England.
Interest and support proved high – and the opportunity arose to purchase a beautiful, secluded, yet accessible property eminently suitable for a forest monastery in Temple, New Hampshire (near Peterborough).

April '08 Hosta la Vista Until we meet again you may wish to donate to the Society for future sales and auctions and divide and re-pot some of the hundreds of plants that we got from Hilltop Hostas last fall. Those members who show up and help will receive not only hosta bucks, but also a free copy of the AHS new booklet 'The Hosta Adventure'. This is a completely new second edition of this popular work that has only just rolled of the presses. If all that activity was not enough by the time the re-potting is done it will be nearly time for our Hosta Show. Show chair Carolyn Schaffner and some of her show committee met at Mennes Nursery on Saturday, March 29th and checked the arrangements and facilities. Hey, this is going to be a wonderful show and a great opportunity to show our favorite genus to the gardening public. Of course, to make our show a real success we will need plenty of entries. Entering leaves in a hosta show is not difficult and can be great fun. Winning a prize is something you will be able to tell the grandchildren about. To help explain and to encourage your participation Carolyn will be showing those of us attending the meeting on April 13th how to select a leaf and prepare it for judging. Again, please see the box elsewhere in this letter for all you need to know about the hosta show. Finally, there may be help on the horizon for those of us with hosta suffering from foliar nematodes. It has been discovered that a certain type of crushed crab shell contains chitin which might just help to kill off the nematodes. We have found one source and are currently President's Message hank you for asking. I did enjoy my first spring of the year and I am now anxiously awaiting the second. In fact, just like you folks, I simply cannot wait, even though I know that as soon as the soil warms up I will be out there digging and planting and I wont have a moment to call my own. There are a few snowdrops emerging and I swear I saw some grass the other day. It really won't be long now. But there is time before all that hectic gardening activity to enjoy a couple of really interesting events planned for the coming weeks and once our plants are up we have our Hosta Show to look forward to. There are also three ways for you to earn hosta bucks and the Board can promise those members who help a free gift too – but more of that later. Our next members' will be held at the east Aurora Senior Center on Sunday 13th April. Please see the advert elsewhere in this newsletter. Normally many of you would come along just for the hosta bucks but this month we have another interesting and busy meeting planned for your delight. In addition there is that second opportunity to earn hosta bucks. If you intend contributing to the refreshment table and you contact our hostesses, Marcia Sully or Dolores Galbo in advance (Marcia: 992-4994, Dolores: 6930376) to tell them what you are bringing you will qualify for additional hosta bucks. The meeting on 13th April will include our seedling competition. Please bring along the seedlings that you have produced from the seeds you were given in November. We would like you to bring the whole flat or container but we will also like to see any seedlings that you have already potted on. There will be prizes for the best flat, the best seedling still in a flat and the best potted on seedling. I'll let you into a secret. Your President won't be winning any prizes this year – I will explain and I will bring my seedlings so you will know why. We have also planned an activity day to delight our members. The Society has three things that it needs to do this spring and we have decided to do them all on the same day. On Sunday, May 11th at the hoop house, we will distribute those special plants that many of you ordered from Bob Solberg at the last meeting, accept and pot up any hosta donations that T CRABBY Neptune's Harvest Crab Shell Although intended as a soil amendment for rose growers this organic product might benefit the hostaphile. It is made from crushed crab shells, a waste product of the food industry and contains nitrogen, phosphorus and calcium as well as other trace elements. Its main claim to fame however is that it is high in chitin, which is the basis of the hard outer shell in crustaceans and many insects. Chitin feeds the biological life in the soil that eats chitin-based organisms such as fungus spores and nematodes. Whilst not labeled as a nematicide it can apparently help to reduce populations. This particular product should be dug into new beds or scratched into the surface around existing plants. We have found a source for this but are also researching a company in Louisiana that markets a nematicide called Clandosan 618 that contains 25% chitin. Education? Of course we are an educating Society!

By Bob Solberg Many of you have told me that your gardens are filling up with hostas and you are running out of room for more. Well, Congratulations! You have just become a mature hosta collector. It is time to collect hostas not hosta names. When the hosta bug bites, there seems to be so many hostas and so many holes to fill. I know collectors that have purchased hundreds of different hostas in their first year of madness. By fall, pots of new acquisitions have spilled over from the garden and flooded the driveway pushing the car to the curb. You start to wonder, "How will these things over winter in the garage?" Next spring you vow to keep your New Year's resolution of not buying any more hostas until you get all you have in pots in the ground. That lasts until Hosta College when your eye gets that first beguiling glimpse of fresh hosta foliage in the vending room. There is something about hostas in the spring. We tend to remember our hosta friends as they were the last time we saw them in late summer, a little tired and wrinkled. In the spring they are so much more beautiful than you remembered with their youthful glow, that you fall in love again and more hostas start to pile up in the driveway. It usually takes three or four years but eventually the garden, patio, driveway, and the half of your neighbor's yard that you "share", really does get overrun with hostas. You realize despite your passion for hostas, you can not collect at this pace any more. Sound familiar? Don't get depressed, this is when the real fun begins. Hosta wisdom is within your reach for now you know, you can not have them all! The more hostas you grow, the more hosta knowledge you have. We learn from each plant in our collection. We get to know its personality, its likes and dislikes. We get to know its parents, siblings and children, creating images of family trees in our minds. We also start to have favorites. (I have become infatuated with blue hostas.) Visiting other collectors and their hostas adds to this knowledge base. Then, there are the hosta meetings where someone like me can tie up a lot of these loose ends of hosta thought, and observation becomes wisdom. When you run out of room you have to collect smarter. Here are some ideas to keep hosta collecting fun. Try collecting subsets. Do not try to get them all, or even some of each. Collect a small group of hostas. Collect them by color, blue ones, ones with red petioles or white centers, (maybe not). Collect them by size. If you are really running out of space collect small or miniature hostas. Collect them by hybridizer. Collect groups of related seedlings and sports like all the 'Fragrant Bouquet' sports. Collect "Tiaras" or "Tardianas". Even collect fragrant flowered hostas but try not to collect hosta names. Hostas with similar names may not really have anything else in common. Take time to learn about new hostas by asking questions. Most growers I know will give you a straight answer about the relative value of a certain cultivar and not just pass out hype. I know I will. Try asking one grower his opinion about another grower's hosta. We all appreciate a great hosta. Find a grower and build mutual trust but beware he or she may ask your opinion, too. Ask other collectors, too. As the hosta world becomes more and more social, I overhear more talk about friends families than praise for a special plant. Share your hosta knowledge, both positives and negatives. It will makes us all a little smarter and empower you as a hosta consumer. Buy bigger plants. Many of you buy new hostas when they are still infants. Yes, they are cheaper that way but aren't most babies just as cute as they can be. By the time they become teenagers you may start having buyers regret. If you are running out of room and must be more selective, do not buy liner sized hostas. Even one gallon hostas can be deceiving but at least they have a mature leaf or two on them. Buy hostas that have been on the market for a year or two. By then growers and collectors alike will at least know if the poor thing will fill that one gallon container or just melt away. Buy fewer, more expensive hostas, it is more fun anyway. One of the things lost with the mass production of most new hostas is rarity. I am as much to blame as anybody because I feel that everyone should have the best hostas like 'Guacamole' and 'Orange Marmalade'PPAF. However, not everyone needs a 'Machete' or a 'Frostbite'. Every hosta collector wants at least a few hostas that no one within a half a day's driving distance can claim. Unfortunately, or fortunately, you have to pay extra for rarity but who cares. If you can only dig one hole this year in the garden then why not put a $100 plant in it. You are still way ahead in the long run. Then buy a padlock for the garden gate! Finally, and this is the hard one, be more selective. It is all right to go home without that hosta that caught your eye at the vending table. It is all right unless you spend the whole trip home wishing you hadn't. Good decisions require a plan, good information and discipline.

His Royal Highness has been interested in hostas for many years, and in 2005 became holder of the National Collection of very large leaved Hostas. Two hostas, 'Prince of Wales' and 'Duke of Cornwell' have already been named for his Royal Highness. The woodland garden at Highgrove House, Tetbury, Gloucestershire is now recognized internationally as having one of the finest hosta gardens in the United Kingdom.

Wnyhostasociety.com Next meeting: April 13th Spring Meeting MEMBER DONATIONS TO THE SOCIETY The garden is ready to spring into life!!! Are YOU ready ?? The WNY Hosta Society is asking ALL MEMBERS to look at their gardens. Maybe you have hosta that could be divided?? They can be large, medium, small, mini, solid green, blues, gold, variegated, named, and even unnamed (aka "orphans") ALL donations gratefully accepted. Your surplus hosta would give us a wonderful stock base for sales. The more donations received, the more variety we can offer the public and our members. Look at your plants early in the spring, so you can dig before the leaves unfurl. We would like to receive your hosta donations as soon as possible, but absolutely no later than JUNE 1st.

April 27, 1943. c BOESEL 2,317,882 ABSORBENT CLOSURE CAP FOR RECEPTACLES CONTAINING DRY MEDICINAL MATERIALS AND THE LIKE Filed May 51, 1940 Y Patented Apr. 27, 1943 ABSORBENT CLOSURE CAP FOR RECEP- TACLES CONTAINING DRY MEDICINAL MATERIALS AND THE LIKE chimes r7. Boesel, St. Louis, Mo. Application May 31, 1940, Serial No. 337,976
4 Claims. (Cl. 215-37) This invention relates primarily. to closure caps for receptacles containing dry medicinal materials and the like, and the capbeing provided with absorbent or dehydrating means topreserve and maintain the drugs or medical chemicals which may be of granular form and consequently porous, in their original dry state so that the efiiciency thereof will not be impaired by moisture from humid air entering the receptacle or bottle to which the cap is removably secured, during dispensing of some of the contents.
A cap of this improved character and as disclosed, may be used as an auxiliary cap for the receptacle after the removal of the original package cap, as the capping or closing of the package or bottle at the place of manufacture is generally carried on in especially provided air conditioned places.
Drug preparations of effervescent character are usually dispensedfrom wide mouthed bottles and consequently when the bottle is opened,
moisture laden air is admitted into the container on every occasion of dispensing a portion of the contents, and subsequently the active properties of the contents are destroyed, thus undoing the very thing for which the drug manufacturer took pains to prevent.
The improved cap disclosed by this invention can therefore be used as an original cap or stopper "or as an auxiliary cap to be applied to and used on a bottle after the original cap has been removed or destroyed, as the absorbent means thereof will dehydrate humid air, if any, which may be formed in a partially filled bottle with which this improved cap may be cooperably secured.
One of the objects of the invention is to provide an improved closure cap for bottles with attached dehydrating means forming a part thereof. I
Another object is to provide an improved closure cap having improved depending dehydrating means attached thereto.
A further object is to provide a closure cap with a housing forming a part thereof for containing a dehydrating agent.
A still further object is to provide an absorbent closure cap of an improved construction.
Still another object is to provide a closure cap of a construction whereby one part is held in locked threaded engagement with another part thereof.
With the foregoing and other objects in view which will appear as the description proceeds, my invention resides in the combination and arrangement of parts and in the details of construction hereinafter described and claimed, it being understood that changes may be made within the scope of what is claimed without departing from .the spirit of the invention.
An embodiment of the invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing, wherein:-
Figure 1 is a vertical sectional elevation taken' through this improved closure cap and the upper portion of a receptacle or bottle to which the cap is removable secured,
Figure 2 is a horizontal section elevation taken approximately on the line 2-2 of Fig. 1.
- Figure 3 is a vertical sectional elevation taken through a part of this improved cap.
Figure 4 is a side elevation of another part of this improved absorbent cap.
Figure 5 is an enlarged fragmentary sectional elevation taken approximatelyon the line 5-5 of Fig. 1.
Figures 6 and '7 are different embodiments of the invention.
Referring by numerals to the accompanying drawing, 6 designates the upper portion of a receptacle or bottle having a neck I with exterior threads 8, and for sealing cooperation with the threaded neck I is a closure cap 9.
The cap 9 is a composite one and having a part II) which is made of suitable material such as a self-hardening plastic material and said part having a depending wall H which is interiorly threaded at 12, and cooperably engaged in the thread I2 is a threaded flange l3 of a perforated housing l4.
The'ehousing l4 and its flange I3 is made of suitable material which may be either a plastic or metal material but preferably of non-corrosive material, and the threaded flange l3 being disposed concentric with the housing but spaced therefrom to accommodate the wall thickness of the bottle neck I when the cap 9 and the housing 14 which forms a part thereof, is secured on the bottle, as shown in Fig. 1.
Th threaded flange I3 is joined with the upper end of the housing [4 by an annular wall l5 which is disposed at a right angle to the housing and on its underside provides a seat for the gasket H! which sealingly engages the top edge of the bottle neck at its mouth.
The part ID of the cap 9 and the housing 14 with its threaded flange 13 are separately constructed, as shown in Figs. 3 and 4, and before mounting and securing these parts together, a portion of fabric I6 is positioned in the housing i4 against the perforated wall thereof with its 2 aarassa end disposed on the wall I! of the housing. in the manner as shown in Fig. 1. A
A dehydrating substance such as activated aluminum, magnesium or any other suitable agent, is deposited in the housing in the sackformed fabric l6 and the housing is then secured in the part III by having its flange l3 threadingly engaged in the thread I2 01' the part I0, and in securing the part III and housing M together, the final turning of one of the parts with the other will cause the pressed-out teeth II on the wall I! of the housing to bite into the lmderside of the top portion I! of the part l0. thus flrmly securing the housing It and the part- ID of the cap together and comprising the absorbent or dehydrating closure cap 0.
When the cap is secured for use on the bottle neck I, the threaded flange It will engage the threads 8 of the neck in drawing the cap on the neck whereby the gasket it will sealingly engage the neck mouth, and the housing I 4 by reason of being of smaller diameter than the mouth of the bottle neck, is spaced therefrom in the manner as shown at 20 in Fig. 1.
, In unscrewing the cap from the bottle or receptacle, the pressed-out teeth I! on the wall I5 of the housing ll, will prevent turning separation of the housing from the part III of the cap. Obviously, when the part It of the cap 9 is made of a self-hardening plastic material and the teeth I I of the housing being of metal, the teeth would readily bitingly engage the under surface of the portion I 8 of the part III when the part l0 and the housing are mounted together during the assembly of the cap.
In the embodiment shown in Fig. 6, the housing 2| containing the dehydrating substance is at the upper end of the cap 22, the perforated bottom wall 23 of the housing having a skirt 24 which is pressed into threaded conformity with the skirt 25 of the cap 22 and the depending ends of the skirts 2t and 25 being curled and crimped together at 25a to prevent separation of the skirts 24 and 25 from each other during manipulating of the cap on the threaded neck of the bottle 26. I
A gasket 21 is mounted on the underside of the bottom wall 23 of the housing 2| for sea]- tight engagement on top of the bottle mouth.
The embodiment shown in Fig. 7 comprises a cap 28 having a depending housing 29 for containing the dehydrating substance and the housing 29 having an annular flange 20 which is held in abutment against the underside of the top wall SI of the cap 28 by a gasket 32 which is held against displacement by indented projections 33 formed in the skirt 34 of the cap 2|, said projections embedding in the side of the gasket 22 adjacent and beneath the flange 20 of the housing 29 of the cap. The skirt 34 of the cap is threaded for cooperation with the threads of the bottle 35. Having thus described the invention so that those skilled in the art will be able to practice the same, what I desire to secure by Letters Pateat isdefined in what is claimed, it being understood that various changes in the devices shown and described in detail and not amounting to invention, may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of my invention.
What I claim is: I
1. An interiorly threaded closure cap for a drug containing receptacle having a depending peri'orated housing with a flange spaced therefrom and in threaded engagement with the thread of the cap, projections on the housing penetrating the cap, and a lining inthe housing secured by said projections.
2. An interiorly threaded closure cap for a drug containing receptacle having a depending perforated housing with a flange spaced therefrom and in threaded engagement with the thread of the cap, a wall joining the housing and the flange and having projections thereon, and a fabric lining in said housing and secured by said projections.
3. A dehydrating cap for a receptacle having a top and a threaded cylindrical skirt, a perforated housing disposed within said cap and having an annular wall in abutment with the top wall of the cap, and a fabric container depending in the housing and having one end clamped between the top wall of the cap and the annular wall of the housing.
4. An interiorly threaded closure cap for a drug containing receptacle having a depending perforated housing with a flange spaced therefrom and in threaded engagement with the thread of the cap, an annular wall joining the housing and the flange, and a fabric lining in said housing having one end clamped between said annular wall and the top of the cap.
