Abstract: In his minimalist design of the Faculty of Language, Chomsky contends with a process of mapping I-language to E-language, and in passing, a process of re-internalizing E-language to I-language.This paper attempts to address the question of how and in what ways E-language contributes to the inner working and re-shaping of I-language by mainly referring to Pirahã, English and Chinese for illustrative exemplification.
