Anarchy, power, festschrifts, and universals
Authors: Stefan MüllerSubject Areas: anarchy, power, festschrift, universal, Chomsky
This paper discusses the concept of anarchy as the absence of power and power misuse by one of the most influential anarchists and his followers. I also discuss universals and the case of Pirahã. It is argued that there may not be any real non- trivial universals on the sentence level, but that there is a strong candidate for a universal on the text level: the Festschrift Universal. The Festschrift Universal states that festschrifts no matter what langauge they are in require an infinite amount to finish.
I also explain why Dan Everett is the first, last, and hence only person on this planet to get a Language Science Press festschrift.
