The Evolution of Creole Grammar
Derek Vickersen's bioprogram was a much stronger statement, which was that Creole languages are actually the visible forms of universal grammar of Chomsky's universal grammar That's what I was getting out of it from reading about that. His idea was very simple, is that first you have adults producing a pigeon because they're incapable of actually producing a full language. Because they're adults, and then the moment that children are born, they take the pigeon and immediately turn it into a Creole. It will have within narrow boundaries all of the exact features of universal grammar.
