My principal focus is on the notions of ‘linguistic specificity’ and of ‘innateness’, and I conclude that, since the controversy about UG is based on misinterpretations, it is rendered sterile and thus does unnecessary harm to linguistic science. I also address the underlying reasons for these misunderstandings and suggest that, once they have been clarified, there is much scope for complementary approaches that embrace different research traditions within current theoretical linguistics. 000129447 536__ $$9info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/FFI2017-82460-P 000129447 540__ $$9info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess$$aby-nc-nd$$uhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/es/ 000129447 590__ $$a1.125$$b2018 000129447 591__ $$aLINGUISTICS$$b69 / 182 = 0.379$$c2018$$dQ2$$eT2 000129447 592__ $$a0.675$$b2018 000129447 593__ $$aLanguage and Linguistics$$c2018$$dQ1 000129447 593__ $$aPhilosophy$$c2018$$dQ1 000129447 593__ $$aLinguistics and Language$$c2018$$dQ1 000129447 655_4 $$ainfo:eu-repo/semantics/article$$vinfo:eu-repo/semantics/acceptedVersion 000129447 7102_ $$13010$$2575$$aUniversidad de Zaragoza$$bDpto.
