In what way do you disagree with Chomsky that language is innate? Clearly, we are born with a capacity for language, which would lead me to agree with the statement that language is innate. So, I am guessing the word "innate" is used in a different sense?
I am also interested in what exactly you classify as "language". Where do you start, and what do you exclude, on what grounds? Is there a widely agreed upon definition?
