Some Core Contested Concepts
Chomsky, Noam
Journal of Psycholinguistic Research, v44 n1 p91-104 Feb 2015

In other cases, it seems that controversies are based on misunderstanding. A number of crucial cases are reviewed, and an approach to language is outlined that appears to have strong conceptual and empirical motivation, and to lead to conclusions about a number of significant issues that differ from some conventional beliefs.
