		The views Sampson has been peddling in the national media have nothing to do with any area of his research or teaching interests and yet he is using his status here at the university to gain both the space within which to articulate those views and to ascribe legitimacy to them.
		Sampson’s personal prejudices have become public and it is to this fact that we must respond – and so this response is about publicly articulated prejudice and not about privately held prejudices although it is recognised that there are many different manifestations of these also present at the university in terms of gender, sexuality, class.
		Sampson quite readily accepts that he is a racist – he uses the term racialist but states that this is synonymous with racist – and the tone and content of his article bear that out.

	05/27/02 - Nothing wrong with free speech—except speaking freely
		Geoffrey Sampson is a British academic and Conservative Party member who until recently held a local council seat in East Sussex.
		Sampson actually said in his essay and how and why he said it—that there is nothing wrong with "racism" except the word itself.
		Sampson compared the current fears, denials and repression of race and racial consciousness (at least among whites; such anxieties seem to be largely absent among for non-whites) with similar fears, denials and repression of sex in Victorian times.

	Amazon.ca: Books: Schools of Linguistics (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Sampson does a good job outlining the historical development of linguistics as a discipline and the main schools of thought currently existing; it's a must-read for those who enjoy the field.
		Hopefully Sampson's description of the Chomskyan community is no longer accurate; I can't recall ever meeting a linguist as stupid as he paints (at least the early) TGists as being, and sometimes wasn't sure that his description of their theoretical excesses was not meant to be hyperbole or a caricature.
		And, Sampson certainly does point out both the things that TG is good for, and the weak points of the theories that he does approve of.

	REVIEW OF Sampson's Educating Eve
		Indeed, this book of Sampson's is an explicit riposte to Pinker's book and to the Chomskyan nativist assumptions that have been dominant (though not to the exclusion of alternatives) over the past thirty years.
		Sampson's goal is no less than to set out all of the principal arguments for linguistic nativism, and to demolish them all systematically.
		Sampson belongs to the vintage of linguists who grew up in the early days of generative grammar, and have seen it develop over more than thirty years.

		Sampson's views stand in stark contrast to moves towards widening access to, and ensuring equality of opportunities within, Higher Education.
		Sampson's justifications, as stated on his website and in the media, are based on a discredited pseudo-psychology:
		Contrary to Sampson's claims, it is not the mixing of 'different peoples' that is inherently dangerous, but the use by academics of arguments which indicate that racism is natural and inevitable.

	BBC News \| UK POLITICS \| Race row councillor defies critics
		Geoffrey Sampson, who is a Sussex University professor and sits on Wealden council in East Sussex, had posted an item on his website called "There's nothing wrong with racism".
		Talking on BBC Radio 4's Today programme Prof Sampson said: "What I have said is that feelings of at least mild preference for one's own race are a normal universal part of human nature which are built into us by the same processes of biological evolution that build into us attraction to the opposite sex."
		But Prof Sampson denied he had ever said he was "proud" to call himself "racialist".

		Geoffrey Sampson - Why Anarcho- Capitalism is a Non-Starter
		Sampson makes much the same point I do: what anarcho-capitalists like to refer to as "Private Military Companies" or "Private Police Forces" have already been tried in the real world and found wanting - they're called Mafias and Warlord factions.
		Whether or not one thinks it fair, it is a fact of life that one is judged by the company one keeps, and marching in lockstep with fools and lunatics is a pretty good way to get oneself branded a fool and a lunatic as well.

	Learnability, Hyperlearning, and the Poverty of the Stimulus
		All that is needed, as Sampson recognizes, is for any auxiliary to precede the main clause auxiliary.
		Sampson also has an epistemological argument against the APS: he argues that anyone defending the stimulus poverty claim by exhibiting a fact F about a language L that could not be induced from the evidence of ordinary use of L must face the question of how they know that F is a fact.
		If the warrant they offer for F comes from evidence of use of L, they have contradicted themselves by conceding that the evidence is available; if the warrant is held to be the result of knowledge gained via innate priming they have committed the fallacy of petitio principii; and there are no other cases.

		What is more depressing is the lack of those professors prepared to state the opposite case; their reluctance perhaps enables the Sampsons and Enoch Powells (a Prof of Classics) to peddle their own propaganda.

		Mr Sampson's views could well have an unfair impact on the way that he treats his students, and would clearly make ethnic minority students in his classes feel uncomfortable.

		Geoffrey Sampson, Professor of Natural Language Computing at the University of Sussex in the UK is likely to be sacked from the Conservative Party for his defense of "racialism" as a legitimate human emotion.
		Sampson that in many countries external appearance is very varied among the native population anyway: see many Latin American countries, India, N.African countries etc.
		Miguel: It's possible that many linguists might travel that route, but Sampson has never been on the more Boasian wing of the field, no. At the very least, I think he is being overly subtle, even coy about his claims here--engaging in a sort of meatspace trolling.

		There are basically three kinds of writing systems in use in the world today: alphabetic, syllabic and logographic.
		Sampson gives sufficient historical background to help you understand how, where and with what languages these types developed.
		This book is in itself an education in linguistic background knowledge that non-linguists don't usually have, but don't worry, Sampson is such a clear writer and excellent teacher, that the non-specialist can usually follow the discussion without stopping.

	Tenser, said the Tensor: Ker-a-ter
		A child has to be taught to hear the word cat as 'ker-a-ter', and such learning is far from easy for many; there is nothing self-evident or natural in the splitting of a speech-chain into separate vowels and consonants.
		Turns out the problem is that I speak an r-full dialect of English, and Sampson doesn't.
		According to his site, Sampson is an Englishman, and apparently he speaks an r-less dialect, because when writes "ker-a-ter" he's thinking of the pronunciation [kə æ tə]—that is, C-A-T, pronounced phone-by-phone.

		In this way, we are not born know-alls; we are born knowing nothing but able to learn anything and this is why we can find ways to think and talk about a world that goes on changing.
