Problems of ‘Problems of Projection’: Breaking a conceptual tie

The exocentric labelling model of Chomsky’s (2013, 2015) Problems of Projection renders projection rather more problematic than it was previously, giving rise to numerous technical and conceptual complications, redundancies and inconsistencies. Of particular concern is the reversibility of the assum...
