I was a generative linguist in my previous career and no linguist that I know has ever heard of this Chomsky challenge thing. It’s hard to prove that something doesn’t exist, but I’m fairly sure it doesn’t.
- basedrum 9mo agoHe could have created this, and then Epstein decided not to launch it? It can exist without you and others knowing about it.
- foldr 9mo agoIt's conceivable, but I doubt it, for the reasons I mentioned. If Chomsky created this thing then presumably his wife can dig out some kind of record of it (as she apparently handled the communication with Epstein's office). So far we haven't seen it.
