[…] Derek Bickerton [Bickerton, D. (1977). “Pidginization and creolization: language acquisition and language universals”, in Valdman, A. (ed.), 1977. Pidgin and Creole Linguistics. Bloomington: Indiana University Press. pp. 49-69] discusses as a class of [b] some fairly specific rules which he claims must derive from the nature of man as a language-learning animal. It would be more in accordance with my own view of language to point under [b] to such universals as derive from acts of personal identity and from the processes I have referred to as ‘projection’ and ‘focussing’ […].
