Actually -- in the speech/language/hearing world Chomsky's stuff is still discussed/debated regularly. There are a number of adherents to his beliefs and a number who believe that parts of his work is accurate when combined with other's work.
Whoa, did that make sense? *rereads*
It's really hard for me to sit and class and hear about him *laugh* It's a constant thing though. *shrug* But what I've seen at the University level is not a wholesale discounting of his linguistics work, but rather an association of Chomsky with the "language acquisition device."
More later, I'm tired :) hehe
Absolutely. But I understand that few professors of linguistics would describe themselves as "Chomskians" and even those that use his work use it piecemeal, in a critical fashion.
