The Linguistics Wars: Chomsky, Lakoff and the Battle Over Deep Structure by Randy Allen Harris: Second Edition: Book Review

[This is a reread of sorts.  I read the first edition, and reviewed it on this blog on June 14, 2021.   The second edition is actually a lot different than the first edition in many places, but in other places similar to the first edition.  So sometimes this felt like a reread, sometimes it felt like a completely new book.]

    So, this is embarrassing, but... I've just realized the title of this book is "The Linguistics Wars". That is "Linguistics" with an "s". Not, as I've been calling it all this time, "The Linguistic Wars".
    And I also made the same mistake in my review of the 1st edition. In fact, I think I've made this mistake every single time I mentioned this book on my blog.
    I'm going to go correct this mistake on this blog post. and I'm going to try and go back and correct it on all previous blogposts that I can find.

    Update: I've gone through the archives of this blog, and wherever I could find "linguistic wars" I corrected it to "linguistics wars".
    That includes this post.
    So you should now be seeing this post with the correct title.
    But, you can check the archived version if you want to see the previous version of this post with the wrong title:
