Peacocky article

This person sounds remarkable, but perhaps his feats should speak for themselves in the article. The current essay, from "his seminal paper" to his being "one of the pioneers" and in between, comes across strangely like fan-mail. The article states that "he is concerned with."... His work might be "concerned with" this or that, but we will never know what concerns him. --Smokefoot (talk) 16:44, 19 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have removed unsourced references. I will try to follow up these claims and source them - if I can source them, I'll put them back into the article. I hope this is OK - anyone concerned please email me or leave a message here. I am trying to get this entry up to a standard so that the 'warnings' at the top of the article will be able to be removed (Annabelle Lukin (talk) 06:33, 13 January 2012 (UTC))[reply]

Please correct this quote

The quote below is ungrammatical, but it is in quotation marks, so I can't edit without reference to the source. Is this actually the correct form:

"imaginary problems were created by the whole series of dichotomies that Chomsky introduced, or took over unproblematized: not only syntax/semantics but also grammar/lexis, language/thought, competence/performance...Once these dichotomies had been set up, the problem arose of locating and maintaining the boundaries between them linguistics"

There's no clear relationship of the word "linguistics" to what precedes it. A preposition is probably missing, perhaps "in" or "within."zadignose (talk) 09:10, 9 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
