Lingugenitical October 10, 2009

It is another day with my Internet browser. Browser is a great a teacher. I

 still used to think how great men think alike? Is it a genetic defect or genetic effect?

I was researching about Languages and found almost a same question partly answered or answered but not accepted by all.

It looks languages as an idea of genetic idea by few and creative thinking by few. Languages differ from land to land. Geography, history and culture are the factors. But how could be genetic?

MIT linguist Noam Chomsky says language is genetic. Though I am great fan Chomsky, I am yet to get convinced with his analysis on language.

Few others say – Language as tool of communication and to the capacity of brain – decides it.

Sergei Anatolyevich Starostin of Russia was saying all languages might have born from single language. Before hearing about the book The Selfish Gene – I was not a believer of thoughts or nature being passed from Gene to Gene and maintained to at most.

Now I am thinking about Noam Chomsky’s analysis and the book selfish gene. Lets get confused. Let’s get more reading on this. But I am not pretty confident on genetically fabricated idea on languages.

If we think, everything is based on Gene – then it is genetical engineering to be the god of future and may be evil too. I think everyone is capable of learning any language in the world.

Okay ! Let’s come to the question “ Will Great Men think alike ?”. Do you accept the people who created Languages as Great Men? If so why they thought differently and why we have differently. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

I think Great Men think very unique. Comparison of great Men / language is not correct. The Question which you may need to research is “ Are languages genetical or creative idea ?”
