Page: 1  Entered: 31 Aug, 2015  Modified: 6 Oct, 2015 When asked "What is the most interesting insight that the science of linguistics has revealed, but that the public at large doesn't know of or appreciate?", Noam Chomsky pointed out that the assumption, "almost a dogma in philosophy", that language is primarily a means of communication, and that it evolved as a means of communication, is being refuted as false. Language, Chomsky claims, seems to have evolved primarily as a means of expressing thought or opinion (or in other word "worldviews").
