Is there a Chomskyan linguist in the house?

Chomsky theorized that real languages have a meta-grammer that can be detected.

languages are formed by the application of meta-rules that are genetically programed in.

meta-rules = rules about rules. The rules that make up a language's grammar are not genetically programmed into us. But the meta-rules, the rules abut the rules ,are. The goto book is Pinker THE LANGUAGE INSTINCT

Example:

A Pidgin is a trade language that is used when two very disparate language groups meet. It is a patchwork that does not follow the human meta-grammar and therefore is a crippled code with limited ability to describe the real world.

But if children are born whose parents speak pidgin to each other, the children create a Creole to communicate with each other in.

A Creole is a language that follows the human grammar meta-rules but but whose vocabulary is drawn from its two parent languages. IT IS A FULLY EXPRESSIVE, FLEXIBLE, HUMAN LANGUAGE.

NOTE: THE CREOLE IS NOT INVENTED BY THE PARENTS AND TAUGHT TO THE CHILDREN: IT IS CREATED BY THE CHILDREN, SPECIFICALLY BY CHILDREN BELOW ABOUT 7, WHICH IS THE AGE AT A WHICH THE ABILITY TO LEARN A LANGUAGE AND SPEAK IT AS A NATIVE (WITHOUT ACCENT) CUTS OUT.

THE CHIDREN CREATE THE LANGUAGE AND SPEAK IT TO THEIR CHILDREN.

THIS IS A REAL-WORLD PHENOMENON.

QUESTION.

Does ANYONE KNOW A CHOMSKYAN LINGUIST WHO CAN DO AN ANALYSIS OF THE LANGUAGE OF "THE NIGHT LAND" AND TELL US IF IT FOLLOWS THE META-RULES OF A TRUE LANGUAGE??

....................................................................................

How might this have come about?

Well, we know that TNL started as a story told to a child. In THE WANDERING SOUL, Jane Frank quotes this dedication

The following passage was inscribed by hand on the endpaper of a copy of THE NIGHT LAND which Hodgson gave to a girl he called "Scraps" in 1912.

To Scraps,

That impudent maiden to whom

I first told the ever shaping tale

of The Night Land

From

Hope-

March 22nd

12

Do you 'member how you used

to shiver when the Night Hounds

bayed; and how quietly it was

needful to go past the House of Silence - eh?

"Scraps" was one Wilhelmina Bird, the very young daughter of a friend.

Hodgson apparently struck up a friendship with the Bird family some time before 1905, one close enough for him to stay with them for a month at the start of that year.

He sent their young daughter several first editions of his works between 1907 and 1916.

She was eighteen years his junior and to what degree she was an inspiration for Naani must remain conjecture.

..............................................................................

So she was about ten when he first started to tell her stories about TNL

Early enough for her childish lisping to have injected just enough real grammar into the deliberately alien future-language Hodgson used??

Sounds dumb,funny. But If anyone knows a Chomskyan linguist, we could find out.

Think what a coup it could be!!!

Just the thing for SARGASSO

SO LET THE CRY GO OUT FAR AND WIDE

IS THERE A CHOMSKYAN LINGUIST IN THE HOUSE???
