  In this section, I will mention some other avenues of research that  have been argued to have a bearing on the innateness of language. My  goal is not to give an exhaustive survey of these matters, but rather to provide the interested reader with a way into the relevant  literatures. Still, I will try to give enough details so as to make a case that current empirical findings, together with the flaws  identified in §§1 and 2 in the positive arguments for  linguistic nativism, tend to militate against that position.
