| Colorless Green Ideas Sleep Furiously |
November 4
1970: At the age of 13, the most well-documented language-deprived child, “Genie,” is discovered and taken care of in Arcadia, California.
1992: A new Lithuanian regulation states that place-names in the country should be in Lithuanian.
1994: First public preview of the Human Language trilogy—a film series on linguistics intended for laymen (but with a heavy Chomskyan bias!). On this day, the first part, called Colorless Green Ideas, is shown at Boston University.
