Not really, but kinda. His view is a little different and can explain a lot of things in traditional linguistics as being different from previously thought. His major contribution is in his theories that natural language is essentially binary.
Interesting. If it's simply about natural language, describing a physical thing or phenomena that is universally experienced, that wouldn't seem to discredit the nuance of more complex language. However, a precise written language won't have proper analogues in a natural, oral language. Is the Sapir–Whorf hypothesis still considered valid?
There isn't really such a thing as a "precise written" language. There are dead languages, that don't change. Languages change over time, which is why we have related languages. Languages tend to have mechanisms to explain things across the board, but they differ in how it's all done.
Sapir-Whorf hypothesis is still taught because its basic principle hasn't really changed. Language does affect the way we think and the way we think affects language.
It's actually from traditional linguistics, far before Chomsky. Chomsky contributed a lot to the science, but it existed long before him.
Yeah, I'm no linguist. Just a quick check shows that Chomsky is largely credited with discrediting linguistic relativity.
