Thread:User talk:WaitingforGodot/Analogical modeling

You may be familiar with Glenn Beck's conspiracy theorist guru W. Cleon Skousen. His family has spawned a bunch of cranks as well, though I've been flipping through some of Royal Skousen's (a linguist at BYU) stuff on analogical modeling. He uses a connectionist approach, which is de rigueuer these days, but I don't know how strong his arguments are on the strictly linguistic end of things. What do you make of it? It would be pretty funny if a family of cranks produced a talented linguist.
