Abstract
In a criticism of my paper ‘Exaption and Linguistic Explanation’, Crain and Pietroski argue that Generative Grammar provides deep generalizations concerning the way children acquire competence in languages. I show that their examples of analyses are mere descriptions and that an exaptive approach to language acquisition provides more insightful avenues to explore.
