When you're named "Byron," you're kind of tied to the Romantics. From googling, is this from his book A Counter History of Composition? I'd be interested in looking further into this.

This line of thinking seems like it'd have a lot of resonance with things like Chomsky's notion of Universal Grammar, but Sheridan's argument that this language needs to be refined through educating the nobler faculties would also have some interesting historical opposition. This is contemporary with Rousseau's Emile, which is basically the opposite of this.
