This paper critically reviews the assessment of the history of linguistic theory, particularly mainstream generative grammar, in relation to cognitive science since the 1950s as described in Boden (2006). After attempting to set the record straight by considering some of the more egregious omissions in Boden’s account, the paper addresses the question of repeated misconceptions of generative grammar that abound in much of the secondary cognitive-science literature. Adopting Dawkins’ (1976) concept of “meme”, several of these misconceptions are discussed and refuted.
