I would be extremely interested in your post on Chomsky. I almost but not quite majored in linguistics in America, which meant that I got the basic Chomskyan introduction but never got to the arguments against it. I am vaguely familiar with the probabilistic-learning models (enough to get why Chomsky's proof that they can't work fails), but not enough to get what predictions they make etc.
