I'm thinking of his research into problems of 'holism' in acquisition and use of language and thought. So far as I know, Fodor, hasn't published specifically on the topic of acquisition on syntax with respect to issues of holism and such, but he often makes comments about contemporary generative theories of syntax and phonology that relate to this recent work. <br /><br />The tl;dr of it is: having spent the past semester devouring fodors work starting from the present and going backwards in time, i could hardly recognize this as one of his papers.
